Veteran's Day Thank You Idea for Your Family



Parents of elementary aged students-- Here’s an idea for you to use this Veteran’s Day (Monday, November 11th) as an opportunity to cultivate a spirit of gratitude and honor toward those who serve our country.  First, watch this video together as a family then make a list of all the veterans you know. If you are not sure of the veterans in our church family, be ready to make note of those who stand when they are recognized this Sunday.

Then, pick up a “Thank You for Starting” card at Club252 check-in Sunday morning or download the template free here. Have your children write notes in the cards. You can bring these cards to church with you Sunday or deliver them to veterans Sunday afternoon or Monday. 

Use this list for idea starters:

  • ·         Generic thanks for their service and sacrifice.
  • ·         List the things in life they are thankful for.
  • ·         A simple picture of their family with “thank you” written on it somewhere.
