Hi, Friends!
Happy Mother's Day! To all the mother figures out there, we thank God for you and the ways you help your children grow and thrive. You show us more of who God is, and that is a beautiful gift, indeed. Thank you for all you do!
It's time for another Sunday School video, and this week features a challenge that Pastor Mary had to complete and a challenge for all of our viewers, too. We hope you enjoy!
After you watch the video, you and your family members can use the following discussion prompts and activities to apply the lesson—woot!
Talk It Out
Recap: What did Jesus ask Peter three times, and what was the response?
Check In With Yourself: Which person did you feel most like in the story as you heard it—Peter, who needed forgiveness, or Jesus, who needed to forgive?
Wonder: What are you wondering right now as you think about the conversation between Peter and Jesus?
Apply It
Take the 3-Part Mother's Day Challenge!
1. Tell your mom why you love her: Mom, I love you because…
2. Tell your mom why you are grateful for her: Mom, thank you for…
3. Ask your mom what you can do to serve her: Mom, what can I do for you?
Think about the ways that God is also like a mother. What are some of your favorite things about your mom? How can those things help you understand more about who God is? Make a list and hang it up to remind you!
Find some ways to express your love for God! You could draw a picture, say a prayer, sing a song, build something out of legos, or anything else that comes to mind. Then share it with God!

Much 💗,
Pastor Lindsay and Pastor Mary
