New Virtue for March - Forgiveness

March is here! That means spring has got to be close, right?!?

A new month means a new virtue for KidStuf! This month we'll be taking a look at Forgiveness.

Forgiveness is deciding that someone who has wronged you doesn't have to repay. In other words, it's the opposite of getting even.

Kids will be challenged to memorize Colossians 3:13 -
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

A quick overview of what we'll be learning:
Week 1: Since God forgives you, you should forgive others (Jesus' parable of the Unmerciful Servant, Matthew 18)
Week 2: When people are forgiven, it can change them (Jesus and Zacchaeus, Luke 19)
Week 3: When you want to get even, do the opposite (How Josesph responded when he wanted revenge, Genesis 45)
Week 4: Don't wait to start making things right with others (Jesus' instructions in Matthew 5)


I'm so excited to journey through this important virtue with you and your kids!
