Discuss: Who forgives you when you hurt one another, and who helps you forgive?
Prayer: Thank You, God, / for our family. / Help us live together / in love and forgiveness. / Thank You for forgiving us / through Your Son, Jesus. / In Your name we pray, / Amen.
Parents, pray using the “repeat after me” method, praying each line and pausing at each slash, allowing your child to say it back to you.
Grades 1-4
Lesson Goal: I understand that God cares for us in families.
Discuss: Esau gave up a blessing from God (his birthright) because He didn’t pay too much attention to God. Do we ever give up blessings from God because of our sin? (i.e. When we stay away from worship, we miss out on the blessing of hearing God’s Word and receiving His forgiveness.)
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You for the gift of family. Help us to love one another and follow Your Word. Thank You for keeping Your promises to us, especially the promise to send our Savior, Jesus. In Your name we pray. Amen.
Grades 5-12

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You for the gift of family. Help us to love one another and follow Your Word. Thank You for keeping Your promises to us, especially the promise to send our Savior, Jesus. In Your name we pray. Amen.
