Our breath is a gift from God. There are many stories in the Bible that talk about “Breath”. God made us and God made the air we breathe. One way we can honor God is by focusing on God’s word. That is what we want to do today. This exercise will help us be focused and ready for our lesson. It is called “Take 5”.

In church we do something special called “Passing the Peace”. Let’s do it together now. Turn to the people who are around you and say,
“The Peace of Christ Be With You.”
They respond, “And Also With You!”

Say it together!
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our debts
As we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil
For thine is the Kingdom, and the Power and the Glory forever. Amen.

Faith is hoping for something or believing in something, even when you can’t see it. We can’t see the wind, but we can see what it does to trees! We can’t see the air, but we breathe it every day! We have faith that the sun will rise every morning. We have faith that our parents and teachers will take care of us and show us how to do hard stuff. We have faith that God loves us.
-what do you have faith in?
-what do you wish you had more faith in?
-how do you think faith can grow?[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]

If you are comfortable, light a real candle and pass it carefully around from child to child as they share their God Sightings.
[SAY]: It’s time for God Sightings!
- Think of a God Sighting that you enjoyed this summer.
- Think of a God Sighting that was given to you as a gift.
- Think of a God Sighting about your family.
The candle represents the fact that GOD lights up the world with these special gifts: our God Sightings.
Prayer: Dear God, you give good gifts because you love us. Thank you for God Sightings. Sometimes it’s hard to find them because it’s easy to focus on hard times. But we can still find God Sightings, even in those hard times. Help me to look for them. Amen.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1599328821552{background-color: #a8edea !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”September’s Verse Of The Month” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center|color:%230a2adb” google_fonts=”font_family:Aldrich%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_empty_space][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/2-ld-XRCkyo”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_zigzag color=”chino”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1591478697719{background-color: #dad2e0 !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Today’s Story!” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center|color:%230a2adb” google_fonts=”font_family:Aldrich%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
Today’s story is about Faith. The story is not from the Bible, but it talks about something very important to our religion.
This video repeats some of the same things OVER AND OVER. You might even feel a little bit bored with the video at times. It repeats and repeats. However, don’t loose hope! There is a reason for this! It’s all part of the story. As we wait to see what happens at the end, remember that we also sometimes have to wait to understand what God’s plan is in our lives.
