Welcome to Virtual Kids Church: May 30, 2021

Key Question: How can you live for God? Kids might think that they only practice their faith when they come to church, go to Small Group, or sing in large group. But when you practice living for God, you discover that whatever you do—work, play, read, sing, listen, whatever—can be a way you worship God with your life.
We finish the month in Mark 12:41-44. Jesus is with His disciples and notices how wealthy people are giving lots of money, but then came a poor widow. She gave just two small coins. While this seemed like such a small gift, Jesus says this woman gave more than the rich people because she gave everything she had.
Bottom Line: Practice living for God. We know that many kids love to sing and worship God. But worship isn’t just something we do when we sing at church; worship is how we honor God with our whole lives— through how we love others and serve them, how we give of our time and talents, how we obey and praise God, even how we rest. We want kids to practice the faith skill LIVE, and discover that worship isn’t just singing loud. It’s living loud.

Story Focus: God’s way is always perfect. We will wrap up the month with Gideon. Gideon really had to trust that God’s way is perfect—especially after he heard God’s plan for Gideon to lead the army. Let’s just say it was not your typical battle plan. Gideon trusted God because He knew that God’s way is perfect.
