The focus through Tuesdays club was not only knowing God but walking with him. What does that look like? We take it several levels.
*First, we reviewed our memory verse Ephesians 4:2 "With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love..." The kids had verse scramble on cards on snack time and we did motions to it in bug group. Knowing God's word and how to treat others was the start.
*Second, we played a game called "God Says..." like Simon says is about listening to God's instructions and obeying them. Being aware if God did not say to do something.
*Third, we worshipped in song and our 4th graders did a super job leading us!
*Fourth, we heard from Jenny Bindra who from the Bible walked well with God- Enoch in Genesis 4:16-5:29. For 365 years, the bible recorded that Enoch was faithful and had a close peaceful relationship with God. Jenny had Mrs. Bone & Mrs. Keaton (twin sisters and best friends 30+ years) demonstrate through questions how well they knew each other and how they could could walk well together in a three legged race. Then, Jenny had Mr. Silva & Mr. Gentile (barely know each other) demonstrate how little they knew each other and how they could not figure out how to to do the three legged race well at all. Jenny concluded her talk with the emphasis of learning peace from God when we walk with Him and a challenge to spend every day this week doing a devotional with God.
*Lastly, Small groups, showed pictures of things that draw us to God and distractions from him. The kids need to figure out the right balance. Ask them! We handed out the challenge devotional cards to encourage the kids to read God's word by themselves or with your help and do the application question. Please encourage them in this effort. You and your child will be blessed to have God as your focus!
Two more weeks left. We hope your kids will be a part of both weeks. We have loved having them!
Love in Christ, GNC TEAM
