Apr. 21 & 22: Everyone Is Important to God

This Weekend in MC Park, in Sunday School and Elementary Worship, your child will learn about gifts.

Paul Teaches About Spiritual Gifts

You can review the story in 1 Corinthians 12:4-27. A great memory verse for your family this week is Ephesians 2:10 – “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do”

Questions for review with your child:

1.    What happens if one of us thinks we’re not important and refuses to get involved in the lives of others?

2.    How can you use the abilities God has given you to help someone else feel important?

3.    How do you feel knowing that you are God’s workmanship?

4.    What are other good works you think God wants you to do?

5.    Why do we need to let others know that they’re important to God?
