Hello to our Parents and Children. This is the week we actually practice what we've talked about fo the last couple of weeks.

We meet at the church Tuesday to record our message to the world in dance to the song, "Every Move I Make." If you need a copy of the video, please let us know.

Today, we need some help from our parents in reinforcing our lesson. We are learning to share the Gospel in 10 words.

God Loves? (Hold hands together outstretched in front of you)
* God loves us and wants to have a relationship with us
* God wants us to be part of His family and eventually to live with Him forever in heaven

We Sin (Move left hand outstretched to side. Right hand remains outstretched in front of you).
* But we sin (“doing anything God doesn’t want us to do”)
* The punishment for sin is death (separation from God…broken relationship)

Jesus Died? (Both hands outstretched to the sides).
* Jesus took our punishment for us by dying on the cross
* Like your bro or sis taking a timeout or spanking for you

God Forgives (Move right hand back to be outstretched in front. Left hand remains outstretched to side).
* Because Jesus died for us, our sins can be forgiven
* The Bible calls this a gift (forgiveness and the opportunity to have a relationship with God)

We Accept (Bring both hands together outstretched in front, as at the very beginning).
* A gift must be accepted before it is ours
* The Bible says we accept God’s gift by believing in our hearts that Jesus died for us, and accepting His forgiveness for our sins
* You can do this by praying and telling God that you believe and that you want His forgiveness

Of course, as you are doing the motions that go with the 10 words, have the child(ren) join you! It is memorable and easy, and at the very least ought to plant the seeds of understanding in their minds.?

There’s so much more to discuss about the Gospel and children, but sharing the Gospel starts with a willingness to do so, and an understanding of how to do so.

Sharing the Gospel in 10 Words is one easy method.

In this week's lesson, you'll find an object lesson about sharing the Gospel and long with the song we will be dancing to.

Please feel free to reach out to me, Sis. Tiffany or Sis. Jackie.
