Think Orange-- April's Virtue: Friendship

Hey parents, this month in our elementary children’s environments (Club252 Sunday mornings and ClubJAM Wednesday evenings) we’re exploring the virtue of FRIENDSHIP-- spending time with someone you trust and enjoy. God actually MADE us for friendship (see John 17:3). He wants to be our best friend and calls us to be a good friend to others. It’s part of His BIG story.  

Bottom Line: Friends encourage one another.

Memory Verse: “A friend loves at all times. He is there to help when trouble comes.” Proverbs 17:17, NIrV)

Week one we looked at the example of the Saul who was accepted by Ananias in Acts 9. God changed his heart and name to Paul and sent him as an apostle (missionary). In Romans 15:7 Paul writes, “Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.

Next week our focus is the encouragement Paul received by his fellow workers (friends) in Thessalonica. 1 Thessalonians 5:11, “So cheer each other up with the hope you have. Build each other up. In fact, that’s what you are doing.”
