Learning the importance of thankfulness in a Christian context, through appreciating what God has done for us all, and through close reading of bible verses;
Considering the positive aspects of their own lives, and considering those less fortunate than themselves;
Learning strategies to demonstrate thankfulness in their own lives.
This session is tried and tested, and has always been really well received in the past. The slides are visually engaging and well-presented, and the subject matter is tailored to the interests and needs of young people.
The session also includes an interesting bible story, detailing one man’s thankfulness after being healed by Jesus, entitled ‘The Man that Came Back.’ Furthermore, there is an internet link to a beautiful, thought-provoking video which demonstrates how far too often we spend time focused on what we don’t have, rather than the many ways in which we are fortunate. There are also various discussion prompts to enable children to understand how they can be thankful in different areas of their own lives.
The slides are fairly self-explanatory, but I’ve included two pages of notes to assist the speaker. Hope that you find this useful!
