PEACE: Proving you care more about each other than winning an argument

BIBLE STORY: Saved by the Abigail (Abigail intervenes) • 1 Samuel 25:1-35

BOTTOM LINE: Prove you care about others by being part of the solution.

MEMORY VERSE:  “God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.” Matthew 5:9 NLT

This past Sunday in Reign Forest, we had a great time talking more about peace. We looked at the story of Jacob and Esau from Genesis and how Esau forgave Jacob for the wrong things he did to him. And this is exactly what God wants us to do. God wants us to “let go” of the wrong things someone might do to us and forgive them.

Everyone is doing an awesome job with memorizing their Bible verses. We only have 8 more verses to learn before we reach our 30 Bible Verse Challenge for this year. We are all so proud of each one of you! Way to go and keep up the great work!

We had a lot of fun on Sunday morning, and all the kids seemed to enjoy the time spent in the word, making crafts, and playing games. It is awesome to see the kids interact with each other, I love to see the older children taking time to play with the younger ones.

Our bottom line for this week was: Prove you care about others by walking away from a fight.

Our story: Walk like a peacemaker. Focused on Issac and his wells, and how God continued to bless him as he chose peace instead of fighting.

Memory verse: "Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone." Romans 12:28 NLT

Hope you all have a great rest of the week.

Dear REIGN FOREST friends,

On Sunday, we started learning about PEACE...Proving you care more about others than winning an argument.  God made peace with us by sending Jesus! When God sent Jesus, he proved he cared for us.

Also, as always the Penny Power jug will be available in the Reign Forest for the children to give their pennies for MCC initiatives around the world. However, this coming Sunday is the last Sunday before our Penny Power jug will be emptied to be counted at the MCC Relief Sale.  

We trust you all had a wonderful EASTER celebrating that JESUS LIVES!
