Read Matthew 5: 13-16
MEMORY VERSE: This is the memory verse for this month. : Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
Write the on paper and post it on your fridge or in your bathroom–somewhere you look every day! Memorize this verse together this month!
For children: Where are places that we see light? Look for lights around the house. What does light do? What do you think it means to let OUR light shine? How do you see God’s light in the world?
For youth/adults: What stands out to you in this passage? What is it about light/salt that would be a good image for us as Christians? Where is the promise or hope in the verses?
Pray together. Pray for places in the world that need light–look at a newspaper or get out a map and name out loud those places that need God’s light.
Make the sign of the cross on one another and say: + “God’s light is with you and shines through you”
Go around your house and count light fixtures. For every light donate .20 cents to a local charity like Habitat to help those who needs lights in their homes.
