September 2024 – Elementary: Light Bright- Shine Jesus’ Light
Monthly Virtue: Compassion – Caring enough to do something about some else’s needs.
Memory Verse: “Let your light shine so others can see it. Then they will see the good things you do. And they will bring glory to your father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16, NIrV
Think back to a time when someone made time for you. Maybe that looked like caring for you when you were sick, or teaching you how to tie your shoe, making food for you, or teaching you how to read or learn a new skill. No matter what it is, when people make time for us, it can bring us joy. It’s like a light shining on a dark day. Caring for one another isn’t always the easy thing to do, but it certainly is what Jesus asks of us. When Jesus gave the command in Matthew 5 to let our light shine, it wasn’t just to bring joy into each other’s lives, but also to bring glory to God. We are reflections of Who God is, and as we “Live Bright” this month, we’ll discover exactly how we can shine God’s light.
