Song: “Every Star Is Different” (Children’s Songbook, 142)

Scripture: Ephesians 4:32

Activity

• Read “I Don’t Want to Be Different!” (page 4). Talk about how God loves each one of us.

• Give a paper and crayons to each family member. Have each person write their name at the bottom of the page and draw an outline of their head in the middle.

• Have everyone pass their paper to the person next to them. Add something to the head—like eyes or hair—to look like the person whose name is on the paper. Then write something nice about them on the page.

• Keep passing the papers, adding to the pictures and writing nice things, until everyone gets their own paper back. You can strengthen your family by being kind and seeing the best in each other! (See family manual, page 155.*)

More Ideas

• Look at the art and quotes on pages 28–29 and talk about how you’ve been kind this week. Then make the garden cups above!

• Memorize Philippians 4:13 as a family. Then remove the poster on page 21 and hang it where you’ll see it all week. (See family manual, page 158.*)

• Read “Paul’s Missionary Journeys” (pages FJ4–FJ6). Paul wrote the scriptures we are studying in Come, Follow Me this month! Talk about what you have learned from the scriptures this week.
