Opening Prayer
Lord, You show us how to live
How to love and to forgive
Guide us through the day and night
To follow in Your holy light
Amen
From "My First Prayers" by Autumn Publishing
SCRIPTURE
This Week's Memory Verse - John 3:16
"For God SO loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
I always learn scripture better when I can put music to it. If that sounds like you, too, you can use this music video to help you remember this all-important verse about God's love and His son's sacrifice for us!

AFFIRMATIONS
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8), and because He is steadfast, who we are in Him remains the same regardless of circumstances. These statements remind us whose we are and who we are Because of who Jesus is.
Speak these statements together as a family.

Help me give a helping hand instead of walking by
