Giving Thanks: Sing or say: Thank you God, for giving us life. Thank you God, for giving us life. Thank you God, for giving us life. Right where we are! Alleluia, praise the Lord! Alleluia, praise the Lord! Alleluia, praise the Lord! Right where we are! (Add in your own ideas of things you are thankful for!)

Read the Bible Together
Read the Bible: Galatians 5:22-23/Fruit of the Spirit and Maybe God Is Like That Too by by Jennifer Grant and Benjamin Schipper
Talk About It!
- Enjoy our video from Luther Park Family Camp!
How have you seen God in people sharing love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control?
Dig Deeper: Read Matthew 28:16-20. What instructions did Jesus give his disciples before he left? How do we live out those instructions today?
Family Activity Choices
Pick activities to do together!
Activity 1: Campfire Worship Make a campfire or a pretend one and sing a camp song together.
Activity 2: Smores Make some smores and share ways you’d like to share “smore” of God’s love.
Pray Together
“Dear God, thank you for your love and all the ways we can share it with other. Amen.”
Bless Each Other
At the end of your time, give each other a special blessing to remember one of God’s promises.
Give each other a hug and say to each other “You are a marvelously child of God!”
