Read the Story from the Bible together as a family.
After you have read it, watch the Bible Story Video during the Sunday Kids Service. Questions will include conversations about the Bible story to allow you and your children to reflect on the biblical truth and share your thoughts about the video with each other.
Included are coloring pages, activity sheets, games, additional questions and ideas to engage with the Bible story further at home with your child.

Every Good Gift is From God – James 1:17; Philippians 4:8
TALK ABOUT IT
1.What was your favorite part of the video we just watched?
2.Have you learned anything about God that surprises you?
3.In what ways have I experienced God’s goodness recently that I may have overlooked?
4.How does our everyday attitude shape the emotional and spiritual atmosphere of our home?
5.What would change in my family if gratitude became a daily practice instead of an occasional response?
Gratitude Ball
WHAT YOU NEED: Small Ball
WHAT YOU DO: Form a circle and explain that when you toss the ball to someone they are to answer the question, “What is something specific you can thank God for?” After they answer then they toss the ball to someone else and that person answers the question. Continue until everyone has answered, and keep playing as interest or ideas arise.
WHAT YOU SAY: “You guys did an awesome job coming up with specific things to thank God for! Sometimes it’s easy to name good gifts, and sometimes we need a reminder to notice them. Today, we’re going to learn that every good gift comes from God, and learn that I can thank God for everything.”
