Set out tonight at your dinner table. Have each person say something they are thankful to God for when they take their napkin.

Thankful Booklets
You will need: plain paper; magazine pictures; scissors; glue sticks; stapler
Fold several pieces of paper in half and staple at the center to make a booklet. Write on the outside cover, [Name]’s Thankful Book.

Take time to pray and thank God for our blessings.

Building on Last Week: Though at times the children of Israel were far less than thankful in regard to giving for the tabernacle, they did show a great deal of thankfulness for God’s deliverance.

Story Scripture: Exodus 35:1, 4-29; 36:1-7

Bible Verse: “I will give you thanks.” Psalm 35:18

At Home Ideas:

Make a Church
You will need: craft sticks; glue; crayons/markers; sparklies
Help your child build a square outline for their church by gluing four craft sticks in a square. Have them fill in the entire square with craft sticks, gluing the top and bottom of each stick to the frame. They can also add a church roof or cross. Color the church and then add sparkly jewels, coins, gold/silver lame, etc.

Piggy Bank
Create a bank from any material you may have at home or buy one at the store. Let your child help decorate it if necessary. Remind your child of how the Israelites gave of their bounty to help build their tabernacle. We can also give to God’s house.
