123 Go - and be Generous!

This week in 123 Go, we learned that God is Generous: I Should Give Back to Him!

We talked about the importance of giving and went through the story of Jacob found in Genesis 28:10-22. In this story Jacob promised to give the first tenth of everything he had back to God. Our memory verse for this week is James 1:22, help your children memorize it and they will receive 5 Action Bucks this Sunday!

Reminder: This Sunday January 31^st is the last Sunday of the month, this means that the store will be open so make sure you have all of your Kosmic Kid (yes they are still good) and Action Bucks ready to spend!

Here is a hint to our theme this Sunday

Secret code word: Superheroes

123 Go!

Jesus came to this world to serve us He came and put others needs first. For the next few weeks, we will be focusing on serving and giving in 123 Go! This week we heard the story of Paul and Silas in jail from Acts 16. Paul put the guard in first, by telling him that all of the prisoners where there so there was no need for him to hurt himself.

Our memory verse is Galatians 6:3 
"If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important." (NLT).
