Prayer 

Jesus, you are the Light of the World. We know that you are the Good News of love and hope in our lives. We know that your light and love will get us through any difficult and dark times. Be with us. In your name we pray.

Amen.

Helpful pamphlet: Living the Beatitudes: The Path to a Happy Life


Simple but effective explanations outline what each beatitude means, and how it relates to our walk with God, leading to true happiness.
 
Love One Another


"This is my commandment: love one another as I love you." John 15:17

Love is a natural theme for the month of February. Dora, Yoda, SpongeBob -- they're all spreading the message, emblazoned on bright foldable cards, surrounded by hearts. Even Jesus used the specific phrase repeatedly when he spoke.

This month let's challenge children to look deeper at Jesus' command. Start with a Bible "scavenger hunt" to find all the ways Jesus references love. Then use this month's TCK activities to extend the lesson even further.
