          through Christ (point up)
          who gives me strength.” (hold up muscles)

(Whisper or softly say the memory verse.) Great job! Our memory verse reminds us that Jesus can help us do everything, including choose peace. Let’s say our memory verse again in our peaceful voices.” (Say the memory verse again in a whisper or soft voice.)
  • After the Activity: “Awesome! We can choose peace with Jesus’ help! Jesus can help us do everything. Who can help you do everything?” (Jesus can help me do everything.)
