MEMORY VERSE
Memorize this verse together! Talk through why it is important and how it is the heart of the gospel & good news. This is the message we are called to tell others about.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
PRAY TOGETHER
**PARENTS: End in prayer together. You may choose to lead prayer or encourage your child to pray with you. This is a great opportunity to teach them how God longs to hear our thoughts and feelings by talking with Him.
