This Friday, our students will come together in their Faith Families to learn about what it means to endure in kindness. As we continue focusing on our school theme-Endure (Hebrews 12:1-3)-we will also introduce our character word for the month: Kindness. Our lesson will begin by exploring how Jesus endured the cross out of love for us and how we are called to reflect His love through acts of kindness. We will study Ephesians 4:32, which reminds us to "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."
After our discussion, students will take part in a hands-on kindness project. Each child will write an encouraging message on a heart-shaped note, selecting a Bible verse to go with it. These notes will then be anonymously delivered to people in our community-business owners, first responders, and neighbors-sharing God's love through small but meaningful acts of kindness. We encourage you to continue this conversation at home:
- Ask your child who they chose to encourage with their note.
- Talk about ways your family can endure in kindness at home, at school, and in the community.
Thank you for your partnership in building strong faith and strong character in our Zion students. We look forward to another wonderful Faith Families gathering as we grow together in Christ!
In Christ,
