This November In eKidz :: What We’re Learning

November 5, 2023 | Family Activities, Faith Resources, 6 weeks - 2 years, 3 years - Kindergarten, 1st - 5th grade, Parent Resources

Gratitude: Letting others know you see how they’ve helped you.
Memory Verse: “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.” Psalms 136:1

Gratitude sometimes feels like a lost art, yet gratitude is an idea close to God’s heart. Think about all of the Bible stories where people gave thanks to God. The Israelites celebrated God with feasts and festivals. The writers of the psalms wrote songs of praise to thank God for being faithful. 

Throughout this month, we hope kids will learn to be grateful for everything God has done: for the world God made, for the promises He has kept, and for the new life He offers the world through Jesus. When we remember all of these things, we can always be thankful. 

  • Week 1 (Week of November 5): You always have something to be grateful for. 
  • Week 2 (Week of November 12): Celebrate what God has done. (Available 11/12)

You could say that the people in the Bible make up this super long PARADE OF THANKS… and it’s up to us to keep it going! This month in Quest, we’ll continue this Parade of Thanks by learning how we can thank God for everything.

We’re Learning… I can give thanks to God.
Bible Story: Ten Lepers ● Luke 17:11-19

This month we’re learning, “I can give thanks to God.” We’lll learn the story, “Ten Lepers,” in Luke 17:11-19. When Jesus healed 10 men, but only one went back to thank Him. We can always give thanks to God for who He is, everything He’s done for us, and all the wonderful things He’s given us!
