Week 2
BIG IDEA: We can give back to God.
We are super excited to be in our second week of our series called Big Picture. This week, kids will hear Jesus share a story about some workers who were trusted with
different amounts of gold. Remember Jesus' stories were called parables which helped people learn true and important things about God. In this parable, a wealthy owner gave three of his workers three different amounts of gold. The first worker got five bags of gold. The second worker got two bags of gold while the last worker only got one bag of gold. The workers who got five bags and two bags of gold worked very hard. They used the money to make more money for their master. They made double the amount they started with. The third servant did not do anything with his bag of gold. He dug a hole in the ground and buried the bag there until the master came back. When the master came back, he was very pleased with the first and second workers. He said they were good and faithful. However, for the third worker, the master was disappointed with him for he didn't do anything with his money. It showed that he did not care about his master or the responsibilities given to him. Jesus told this parable to show us that God gives everyone different gifts, abilities, and resources. The
worst thing we could do with what God gives us is to do nothing at all. There's always a way to give back to God and try.

Tip of the Month
March
If you've been following Jesus for a while, chances are, you've established a spiritual habit or two that helps you spend time with God regularly. Even if your habits aren't perfect (and whose are?), you've probably found one or two ways to connect with God, like reading and studying the Bible, or spending time in worship and prayer on your own. But how do we help our kids develop habits? It's not always easy to know how to help kids spend time with God on
their own, in an age-appropriate way.
