2 Corinthians 9:6-7
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
This Sunday school year, Zion’s students are learning the practice of being cheerful and generous givers. Students are encouraged to bring in their own money (no $20 from Mom and Dad, please!) to be collected and given to ELCA Good Gifts. ELCA Good Gifts supports a number of projects in various communities in need in 83 different countries around the world. These projects include providing livestock or crops to growing farms, supplies for budding churches, and even providing life-saving necessities such as food, vaccines, and fresh water. At the end of the year, all offering collected by Zion’s youth will go to a project of the students’ choosing.
During November, our Sunday School students will be completing their study of Moses as they delve into our next rotation, Wandering in the Wilderness. The children will be learning about Moses and God’s people’s long and difficult journey through the wilderness. They will be learning about what it is to have enough, the importance of the Ten Commandments and about God keeping his promises.
Over the last couple of months our Sunday School children have learned so much about Moses and God’s love. Please join us in our closing prayer.
Dear God,
1. God, you are our God.
2. Help us call your name
3. Help us make space for you.
4. Help us be good to our families.
5. Help us be kind.
6. Thanks for all the blessings, God.
7. Thanks for the Ten Commandments.
8. Thanks for knowing we need limits.
9. Thanks for surrounding us with love.
10. 10. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
