For the next nine weeks, your children are going to be learning the fruits of the spirit. Today we learned about love!
We talked about some of the ways that we show love.
Our story today was about a very specific show of love from one friend to another. David and Jonathan are a wonderful example of friends who love one another. From 1 Samuel 20:1-42, we learned about how Jonathan saved David's life after his father, King Saul, discovered that David was going to be the one to take over as King someday. King Saul wanted to kill David! But instead of letting his father hurt his friend who he loved, Jonathan slipped away and warned David that he needed to run away. What a selfless thing to do!
Our goal for this week is to show our friends love just like Jonathan did: to be selfless and giving, and to always pray for them.
MEMORY VERSE FOR THE WEEK:
"Love one another." - John 13:34
Next week's fruit of the spirit: joy.
(Parents, don't forget, our theme verse for learning about the fruits of the spirit is Galatians 5:22-23 - see the entry from August 30. We hope everyone can learn this verse in the next 9 weeks!)
