Heroes of Mega City Week # 3

Lesson Goal:  The children learned that God wants them to be generous.

Main Point:  Heroes are Generous!

Bible Verse:  “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” 2 Corinthians 9:7c (NLT)

Our goal this week was for your child to know that, just like the people in the Bible they learned about, they can choose to be generous in some way, every day. It may be with their belongings, time or effort. Generosity is one way that your children can be God’s super heroes.

On stage, we told the stories of Abraham letting Lot have his choice of land, the child who gave Jesus the small amount of food that ended up feeding a gathering of five thousand people, and a widow who gave all she had to the Temple. In each story we talked about how the person gave their best, they trusted that God could do more with their gift than they could do on their own, and their attitude in giving was more important than the size of the gift.

During our large group skit, your children continued the story of Kabaam and Pow and their attempt to make it through Super Hero Training. This week, Kabaam was given the opportunity to graduate early and was given some special abilities. Pow was given another challenge that was more than overwhelming. In the end, Kabaam gave up the special ability to Pow, forfeiting the chance to graduate early, so that Pow could succeed in the challenge. By using that generous give, Pow was able to win the challenge for both trainees.

We want your children to view their day-to-day lives the same way. We know that it is hard to be as generous as we should be , but we should all strive to be someone who chooses to be generous with the best of their time, belongings, and effort.

Our Bible stories, skit, and small group activities today focused on showing your child that God thinks it is important to have the character trait of generosity. One activity you can participate in with your child is to take a grocery bag and fill it up with clothes, toiletries, or non-perishable food items to bring back next week.

This is a great opportunity for you to encourage your child in the character trait of generosity. Please help your child to fill up their bag, and bring it back next time. Our goal is to collect bags from each child so that they can see how their gift really does turn into a bigger gift when they obey God’s desire for them to be generous.

As a church, we will be giving the gifts to people in the area who are in genuine need of the items. Thank you in advance for you generosity and participation in this part of your child’s spiritual growth.
