Wondering how to help your children extend the lesson from children's chapel at Emmaus Church in Lincoln, CA on Sunday morning? Try these:
Every night this week focus on one family member. At dinner, have each family member share with that person what purpose he/she thinks God has given that specific family member.
Eat dinner together and talk about the four-fold pattern: Took, Blessed, Broke, Gave.
Invite important friends over for dinner. Enjoy fellowship with one another and pray for one another.

While the adults covered the topic of The Thankful Have More Time, our chapel lesson paralleled with “Focus on Thankful. Focus on Jesus.” We centered our lesson on Genesis 28:16, “Surely the LORD is in this place and I was not aware of it."

Parents can further this discussion by brainstorming ideas as a family on what you can do to focus this week’s celebrating on Jesus. What can you...

The Emmaus Kids chapel lesson from Sunday followed the theme of being thankful even when things feel like they are falling apart. We revisited 1 Thessalonians 5:18, “in all things give thanks; for this is God's plan for you in Christ Jesus.”
To expand on this point, we discussed the story of Job. Just like in Job, when it feels like there is nothing to be thankful for, we are to still give thanks to God, for God can take what feels broken and hopeless and make it beautiful.
Our Bonus Round session re-enforced this concept through games and a ...
