Happy Sunday, Friends!
This week's video features upside-downing, hopping, and a word on waiting patiently. Best of all, it starts with a very special guest from our church family! We also have a little bit to share about the concept of change. We hope you enjoy (and that you are ready to jump around!).
After you watch the video, you and your family members can use the following discussion prompts and activities to apply the lesson.
Talk It Out
Recap: After Jesus ascended, what did the disciples have to do?
Check In With Yourself: How does it feel to have to keep waiting to go back to church and do other things we miss?
Wonder: What are you wondering right now as you think about the words of the psalm that tell us to be strong and brave?
Apply It
Make your own hopscotch so that you can actively learn and say the memory verse from Psalm 27:14.
Think about all the things in life that are good and require us to wait (like growing a tree or waiting for something to bake in the oven!). How can waiting be good for us at times? Draw a picture of something that was worth the wait to remind you to hang in there when waiting gets hard during this season.
Consider something you could change right now that might help you and your family during this season. (It's okay to change things up while we are waiting!) Maybe you want to start something new in your daily routine, like adding a certain time to pray each day, helping in the kitchen, trying a new exercise, spending more time outside, taking more deep breaths—it could be a small change or a major change! Of course talk this over with a parent first to make sure your idea won't be unhelpful to anyone in your home.
We are praying for you! Please remember to email/call/text with any prayer requests you have.
Much love,
Pastors Lindsay and Mary
