HCOC Children's Church
September Week 4
All You Need is Love ~ God's Greatest Commandment
Honey, Let Me See You Smile
In this game, the children tried to make each other smile or laugh. We discovered that the more we practiced keeping a straight face, the easier it was and connected this to the fact that if we practice showing God's love, that will become easier, too.
Growing in Love
After reading Ephesians 4:15 ("We will grow to be like Christ in every way."), the children thought about different actions and acted out whether those actions grew us up in Christ or shrunk us down.
Bible Memory + Love Growth Chart
The children reviewed their Bible verse and then received a Care Bear Love Growth chart so that they can keep growing in Christ's love at home. As they complete the actions on the chart, they should color in one section of the Care Bear.
Don't let the learning stop at church!
- go over the Bible verse with your child: Matthew 22:40 "All of the law and the writings of the prophets take their meaning from these two commands." Then ask, "And what are these two commands? Love God and love others!" Each time you recite the verse, you will add this question to the end so that they can also memorize the two commands but without having to memorize the entire paragraph.
- Help your child fill in their love growth chart by encouraging them to do the activities listed.
