Sunday the SuperKids group talked about Labor Day.  I have attached a bit of the lesson so that you can go back over it with your kiddos.  They were challenged this week to do whatever chore is asked of them and to do with a happy heart.  This coming Sunday, I will see what they did and if they were able to do it without complaining. AND to see who remembers the verse.

 BOTTOM LINE: We need to do all work as if working for the Lord
OBJECTIVE: Kids hopefully did learn why we need to do work as if we were working for God.
KEY PASSAGE: Colossians 3:23-24. Work for the Lord.
MEMORY VERSE: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord...” - Colossians 3:23 (NIV)
SUMMARY: Work isn’t always easy, but it doesn’t have to be a drag. God wants us to work as if we are working for him. Work can be a chance to praise God with our actions and share the good news of Jesus with others.
SIMPLE PRAYER: Dear God, Forgive us for the times we have a bad attitude about work. Teach us to work as if we are working for you. Amen

Make this week’s lesson real: When it’s time to work this week, have everyone check his or her attitude. Who are you working for? Is it easy to readjust your attitude to work for God - especially when you don’t feel like working.?  
Here are some great discussion starters:
Why does God want us to do our work for him?
How can working for God be a witness to other people?
Are there any jobs that we can’t do for God?                                

Review the verse with your kiddos before bed time. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord... - Colossians 3:23 (NIV)                        

PARENT TIME: What you need to know: Your kids learn best from your example, not what you say. Take a moment to pray on your way to work each day this week that God will give you a better attitude about work.
