Belong

This past Sunday in Kids Church (1st-6th grades), we began a new series called "Beefesians". We are going through the Book of Ephesians, and learning that God wants us to Belong, Believe, Be Patient, Behave, and Be Strong.

This is a video series, brought to us by Kidmo. We try to use video lessons a few times throughout the year to keep things fresh and to give us time to plan creative elements for our live stuff.

This week, the kids learned that God wants us to Belong. We learned that God wants to adopt every person to be a part of His family.

In our small groups, we discussed the following questions:

• What does it feel like to be accepted?  We talked about times that people welcomed us or made us feel special.
• Why would someone want to adopt someone else?  We discussed adoption and we talked about why God would want to adopt us into His family.  We talked about what it must feel like to be adopted.
• How can you be adopted into God's family?  We talked about how to accept Jesus into our hearts and make him the leader of our lives.  We committed to trying to live each day like sons and daughters of God.

Our verse for this week is John 1:12 - "But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God."
