Fruit of the Spirit (1/26-1/28)

With God, all things are possible. - Matthew 19:26 In chapel we will be talking about fruit; fruit that grows on trees and fruit that grows on vines. God gives us so many different varieties of delicious fruits to enjoy and He likes to see us smile and take pleasure in His creations. At the same time, He also knows that fruit is packed with goodness that will make our bodies grow healthy and strong. In the same way God provides fruit for us to grow strong in our bodies, He also gifts our souls with fruit of the Spirit. This fruit contains attributes that every Christian shows when they walk with the Lord. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." Galations 5:22-23 This week in chapel will be an overview week, hinting of 9 fun weeks to come. In the 2's and 3's I will read "9 Fruits Alive" and in the Pre-K's and Transition I will read "Jesus In Me...The Fruit of the Spirit." Both books very simply explain ways we show qualities of God's fruit. Throughout the remainder of winter and spring we'll take one attribute per week and focus our lesson around it. First one up...LOVE. After the book we'll go fishing for fruit and sing and dance to 'The Fruit of the Spirit' and 'Praise The Lord Every Day.' May God show you His blessings as you go about your week! Melinda
