WonderFULL- Week 3

From the Northern Lights to the Great Barrier Reef, our world is full of so many incredible wonders! In this four-week series, our families will explore the natural wonders of the world while learning from the book of Psalms about how all of God’s creation is evidence of how wonderful our Creator is! Each week, we’ll invite kids to worship because of all the “wonder-full” things God has done by putting their hope in God, asking for God’s help, remembering what God has done, and living for God!


BIG IDEA: We can worship by remembering what God has done.

DISCIPLE:

Share a story about something God has done in your life that you've always remember. Have each family member share their experience if they'd like.

There are some things in life that are hard to forget. 
Remembering God’s faithfulness and love for makes our hearts sing! God loves me and God loves you so much!  Sometimes, when we get busy or distracted, we can forget what God has done. Or sometimes, we take the credit for things God has done in our lives. When we forget about the ways God has been there for us in the past or we try to do things on our own, we can get sad or start to worry about the future. 
That’s why taking time to worship God every day helps us remember all those good things!

We can worship by remembering what God has done.

Pray: Dear God, thank you for all of the ways you’ve been there for us in the past. We remember your love and kindness, and we are filled with thanks! We remember the wondrous ways you have come through for us and we know you will always be for us. Help us to respond with a heart full of praise for who you are. Amen
