Our Bible story on Sunday for 252 Elementary was from the book of
LUKE 15:21-32 –
The Prodigal Son
SAY THIS TO CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION:
When you don’t forgive, you miss out.
REMEMBER THIS:
“Put up with one another.
Forgive one another if you are holding
something against someone. Forgive,
just as the Lord forgave you.”
COLOSSIANS 3:13, NIrV
DO THIS TO CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION:
BED TIME
It’s true that forgiveness is hard. But forgiving someone isn’t just about them, it’s about you, too! When you forgive, you can have peace. Forgiveness sets both you and the other person free. Are you missing out on something right now that you could change through forgiveness? Pray that God would show you any place in your life where you’re holding onto anger and help you forgive.
LIFE APP-
FORGIVENESS:
DECIDING THAT SOMEONE WHO HAS WRONGED YOU DOESN’T PAY.

CUDDLE TIME
Cuddle with your child this month and pray, “Dear God, we want to follow Jesus and love people the way He loves us, but sometimes it’s hard. Sometimes we don’t want to share or be kind or forgive. Please help us love people like Jesus, even when we don’t feel like it. We really do want to follow Jesus. We love You, God. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

Wednesday Night Small Group Leader
One of our Kids Connect Small Group Leaders on Wednesday night is Mr. Jeremy, who also happens to be married to Ms. Michelle. Mr. Jeremy has been attending FUMC since 2007. He’s served in Children’s Ministry for 11 years.
While this is his first year as a SGL on Wednesday nights with our elementary kids, Mr. Jeremy has been a helper to our preschool SGL, Ms. Shirley, for the past 11 years. The weeones just love Mr. Jeremy who connects with them in a way only a ‘dad’ can!
Mr. Jeremy is also a dedicated servant in our Hungry Hearts ministry. He comes in on Thursday evening once a month to wash the dishes and on Wednesdays once a month he picks up food donations from Panera Bread.
When he’s not busy influencing the faith of the next generation, he’s busy educating them. He is a sixth grade teacher at CAMS South.
I’m putting this out there (again): Mr. Jeremy deserves major kudos for investing in kids like he does. On Wednesdays he spends the day with middle-schoolers and his evenings with K-5th graders! What a trooper, yeah? We are praying for his sanity too!
When he’s not serving at church or teaching at school, Mr. Jeremy likes to golf. If you want to say ‘thanks’ to Mr. Jeremy, golf balls are a good idea 🙂
The best part of having Mr. Jeremy as a SGL is his booming voice and ability to lead games on Wednesday nights and have fun with them too. He also doesn’t mind when weeones climb on him like he’s a jungle gym.
Mr. Jeremy makes Wednesdays fun for kids and for other small group leaders. And we appreciate it so much!
