LOVE: “Love is patient; love is
kind.” 1 Corinthians 13:4
Galatians 5:22 – 23; 1 Corinthians
13
“Most children hear the word love
and think of romantic love, but love is
much more than that. Throughout the Gospels
Jesus calls his disciples to love one
another. The children will be taught that
love is more than romantic feelings. They
can show love by being kind to one another.
Love is the giving of self.”

felt upon discovering that Jesus had risen

relate their joy to an even greater sense
of joy that they will grow into as Christians.”

PEACE: Blessed are the peacemakers, for
they will be called children of God. Matthew
5:9
Galatians 5:22-23; 1 Samuel 25:1-35
“The children will learn that sometimes
they must compromise. This doesn’t
mean giving up all their beliefs –
it just means that once in a while peacemaking
is more important than winning. We will
help the children learn the difference
by hearing the story of David and Abigail.”
