September Theme: Game Show: The choice is yours!
Virtue: SELF-CONTROL—Choosing to do what’s best even when you don’t want to.
Overview: There are a lot of choices that we need to make in life. Some of those choices can help us grow and shape us positively. Others can pull us in different directions, leaving us struggling to figure out which choice is best. What do we do when we’re confronted with all of these choices? Do we rush ahead? Or do we pause and let God lead us toward the best way to act? Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit. It’s one of the ways we can tell that God is transforming our lives and that we’re growing in our faith. Thankfully, we don’t have to find self-control on our own. When we follow Jesus, God’s Spirit is with us and helps us make the wise choice.
September Memory Verse:
“God’s power has given us everything we need to lead a godly life.” 2 Peter 1:3a (NIrV)
Bonus Verse:
“A person with a bad temper stirs up conflict. But a person who is patient calms things down.” Proverbs 15:18 (NIrV)
Giving Back
We believe it’s important for kids to practice offering a part of what we have back to God as a thank-you for all He’s given us! That’s why we have seasonally offering projects that kids can give towards that fund, sharing hope and practical support with other kids and families in our community and around the world.
