About this resource

The Joy Drive: a Discipleship Tool for Children's Ministry SPIRITUAL HABIT: Use Your Gifts AGE GROUP: Elementary TEACHING SERIES: Get the teaching series Joy Story that goes along with this activity here ! This activity is designed to help kids practice the spiritual habit of using your gifts. Because if we want to grow spiritually, we need to understand how God uniquely made us and then use those unique qualities to love God, love others, and impact the world around us. The Joy Drive is a hands-on activity designed to help kids make a real difference in their community. By partnering with a local organization, kids and their families will have the opportunity to collect donations that meet real needs. Throughout this month-long challenge, small groups will work together to gather donations, learning what it means to love and serve others along the way. Each week, you'll update kids on their progress, celebrate their generosity, and encourage them to keep going. While this activity can be done anytime, it's a perfect fit for the Joy Story teaching series-a Christmas series all about giving and spreading joy. No matter when you do it, The Joy Drive will inspire kids to give with joyful hearts. All our discipleship activities are built to be flexible! You can use this activity in a variety of ways with just a little bit of modification, but here's how we recommend using this one: kids can participate in this activity from home and church anytime for a month's time.
