Baton Pass - Week of Oct 12

Research shows that parents are the single most influential factor in a child’s faith. 82% of kids whose parents talk about and practice faith at home go on to follow Jesus as adults, compared to 36% whose parents simply bring them to church. Alabaster Kids is one hour a week. You have the rest. We want to help you make the most of it.

Sunday’s Big Idea
God gives us work so we’ll have enough to live and enough to give. We work so we can be generous like Jesus. (Toddlers through kindergarten heard the story of Joseph, who used the gifts God gave him to bless others, from Potiphar’s house to Egypt to his own family.)

Discuss

• Who do you know who is really generous? What are they like?

• Besides money, what else can we give? (Time, kindness, help, a note or a drawing.)

• What makes it hard to share, like wanting the next new thing or worrying there won’t be enough? What would it look like to trust Jesus with that worry?

Practice & Pray
Pick one way you’ll share this week, with a sibling, a friend, a neighbor, or someone in need. Then pray together: “God, thank you for giving us enough. Help us be generous like Jesus, and show us how to share with ______ this week.”
