This week we’re starting a new unit called “Gliddle Principles!” Over the next three weeks, we will focus on three character qualities to live with - Honesty, Kindness, and Responsibility!
Message
As Lightgliders, we want to grow in our love for God and for those around us. One way we can show love and care to people in our lives is by being honest. Being honest means always being truthful in our words. Honesty with ourselves and one another shows respect for what God has created. Kids are sometimes quick to protect themselves by telling “little white lies” to keep from getting in trouble. They can see protecting themselves as a better option than being honest and accepting a consequence. But, kids need to know that being honest encourages others and shows that they can be trusted. Speaking the truth is a powerful way to show respect to others and to honor God.
Verse
"Don't lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds.'"~ Colossians 3:9 (NLT)
