Zacchaues - The Sin Monkey strikes again

In Luke 19 when Zacchaues the tax collector stole money from the people, he broke those relationships. It have simply said "I'm sorry I took your money" was not even, Zacchaues had to make things right. He had to "fix the furniture" and he did so by paying back 4x the amount of money he took from someone.

Other week in the Discovery Studio I asked the kids to write different sins on a t-shirt. Like freqeuently happens, a kid asks a question and our "plans" take a different path. The question was great - "what is sin?"

So prompted a discussion on what they knew about sin and thought sin was. The typical responses were - lying, stealing, murdering, etc. But then a couple of the kids went further in their explanations and said "gossiping," "hurting my friend with unkind words," and "intentionally destroying nature."

I was so pleased to hear some of the kids express a deeper understanding of sin. That one understanding of sin involves "breaking relationship."

We have great kids at WW!

Fifth Sunday

March has 5 Sundays. Some fifth Sundays the kids go into Fusion to experience worship with their parents. Sometimes we do special projects like making blankets for shut-ins or this time we
are making prayer beads and cards to be given to the grandma's and grandpa's in Jackson's nursing homes.

It is a great project for the kids! We talk about serving and giving to others.

We use parent participation on these weeks, so we need you!

Prayer of a 4th grader

Dear God,
I love you.
I thank you for dying for me.
The least I can do is praise.

IBU!
