Read Together
1 Corinthians 1:9 (ESV)
God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Talk About It
This verse tells us that God is always true to His promises—He is faithful. God cares about each of us, and He invites us to be close friends with Jesus and with one another. Church isn't just a place, but a family God brings together. Each person has special gifts and talents to share, like being kind, creative, or helpful. Paul reminds us that everyone is important because God has a plan for us to work together and show His love. You matter in God’s big family! No matter what your gifts are—even a cheerful smile—God can use you to bless others. Working together gives God glory and helps others see Jesus through us.
For Parents to Explain
Dear God, thank You for calling us to be part of Your family. Help us use our gifts and work together to show others Your love through Jesus. Amen.
