To the Depths Week 1

October 12 we began a new series called To The Depths.

Today the "Main Point" of our lesson was, God loves everyone and so should I. Your child will remember this because we repeated this several times and we also have motions to reinforce this point.



Bible Story James 2:8-9 & Luke 10:30-35 Read this to see what God says about favoritism.

Bible Verse Galatians 5:14: This weeks Bible verse helps us understand how to avoid favoritism.

On the Road: While you are driving around this week make a game of looking for different cars on the road. Try to guess where they live or what type of job they have. Especially look for cars with the logo of another school thet you may be rivals with.The point of thie game is help your children understand that we sometimes judge people based on thier appearance. Tell your children: We made a decision about these cares baised on thier appearance and sometime we do the same thing with people.Remind your children that we should show Gods love to everyone no matter how they look on the outside.

Who is a Samaritan?
Have your child list his/her favorite people at school and how your child treats them. Then have your child list his/her least favorite people and how your child treats them. Point out to your child that Jews and Samaritans did not get along with each other.Even though Jews and Samaritans did not like each other the Samaritan helped the Jewish travler in many ways.
Show your child how you show Gods love to those in your life like the Samaritan and how they can be Samaritans to other in thier life.

Be a "Good Samaritan" this week.
