Faith on Mission

PARENTING AFFIRMATION
God’s grace is greater than my parenting mistakes.  Proverbs 19:21

READ
“God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son. Anyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life.”  John 3:16

DISCUSS IT

• What do we learn about God and ourselves from this verse?  (God loves us and we need His grace.)
• What did God do to show His love for us?  (He gave His Son.)
• Why do we pack shoeboxes with Operation Christmas Child? (We give like God gave so that boys, girls, and families can believe in Jesus.)
• What is your favorite thing about participating in Operation Christmas Child?
• If you have packed before, where did your boxes go?  What can you learn about this area and what Samaritan’s Purse is doing to spread the gospel in that area?
• How can we prepare to love more people through Operation Christmas Child?
• How is our family going to participate in Operation Christmas Child this year? (packing party, boxes, donating supplies, volunteering time to help the team, go to the Processing Center)
