Decision Week Ideas
The idea of having decision week is to give opportunities for children to respond to what they are hearing and seeing about God. Some responses will be to the Gospel message that Jesus died for our sins to bring us back to God. Some of these responses will be to take simple, single faith steps. These single steps are important, and can be made by children who have already chosen to live like Jesus as well as by children who are still examining and getting to know God.
An example of that single step commitment might be; “Today I have learned that God is trustworthy and keeps his promises, so I want to respond by trusting God more. .” While this isn’t a ‘salvation moment’, it is still enormously significant.
Children learn when they are actively involved, so the suggested idea in ABC ART CANVAS is that your kids will be creating a picture similar to this one, that will help them share Jesus with their friends and explain God’s plan for their lives.
I love seeing generations sitting together chatting about their spiritual lives, sharing their faith journey. The suggestions in X MARKS THE SPOT gives some ideas for this to happen.
The ideas can be used in SAGALA, Kid's Club or Kid's Church during the suggested Decision Weeks.
