Welcome to Virtual Kids Church: Nov. 1, 2020
New Month - New Units!!
WEEK 1 - Elementary and PreTeens:
What are you grateful for? We start the month on gratitude helping Elementary and Preteen kids refocus their own life and discover reasons they can be thankful. We can get so busy with life, that we often don’t take the time to pause and notice what God has done for us. We pray that kids will consider why they can always be thankful.
The kids kick off this new series with something Paul wrote in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Give thanks no matter what happens. God wants you to thank him because you believe in Christ Jesus, (NIrV). It’s pretty clear. Giving thanks is something God wants us to do. No matter what happens, we can be thankful for Jesus and God’s gift of salvation.
Bottom Line: You always have something to be grateful for. When life is hard or even if life is normal, finding why you should be thankful can be difficult, especially for kids. We pray that as kids think about this bottom line, they’ll remember they can always be thankful to God for sending Jesus to be our Savior.

Did you see a colorful rainbow after the rain? Thank You, God!
