Hello Friends!
The Children’s Sermon for Sunday worship on March 22 was about Jesus giving the miracle of sight to a blind man. The story is from John 9:1-41. In the Spark Bible, it’s called, “Pool of Siloam.” You can find it on p. 432.
In the story, Jesus says, “I am the light of the world.” Take a few minutes and talk with your children or youth about how you see them shining Jesus’ light in your life together. What have they done recently that has made you smile? What have they done that has been helpful? How have they brightened someone’s day? Ask them how they see the light of Jesus shining in you, in your family, or among your friends as you stay connected during this time of social distancing.
You can also get out your child’s baptismal candle and talk about your memories of their baptism day. What is their baptism anniversary date? Who was there when the pastor or worship leader said, “Let your light so shine before others that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven”? What did your child wear for his or her baptism? Did he or she receive any gifts?
Keep looking for the light of Christ during these times of being together at home. Jesus is with you and he will help you keep shining your light for all to see!
