This week, the children celebrated Thanksgiving with a special lesson on Israel, the Thankful Trackers, focusing on gratitude as a daily practice and learning about the Feast of Tabernacles. Through engaging activities and discussions, the children discovered:
- Gratitude as a Lifestyle: They learned how giving thanks should be a daily part of our lives, just as the Bible encourages us to rejoice in the Lord always.
- The Feast of Tabernacles: The children explored how the Israelites used this special festival to remember God’s provision during the harvest and His deliverance from Egypt.
- Creative Thanksgiving Activities: Fun crafts and responsive readings helped the children express their gratitude in meaningful ways.
- The Importance of Rejoicing Always: They reflected on the memory verse, “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever” (Psalm 136:1), and discussed how gratitude honors God in every circumstance.
This special Thanksgiving lesson encouraged the children to develop an “attitude of gratitude” and to give thanks to God every day.
