December for  K-5th Graders

Every good and perfect gift comes from God. In fact, generosity is at the very core of God’s character – He gave us His own Son, Jesus!  Jesus showed unwavering generosity as He traded His life for ours.  And, because God gave us Jesus and Jesus gave His life, we can be generous towards others.  When we are generous towards others, we show that we love God by loving the people He loves. As kidz celebrate God’s amazing generosity, we pray that they will see how they can be generous with their family, friends and neighbors.

Memory Verse: "Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.”  1 Timothy 6:18
