SING: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON THE PSALMS
WEEK 2 BIG IDEA: I AM SAFE BECAUSE GOD WATCHES OVER ME

SERIES OVERVIEW:

People say music is the universal language, something everyone loves in one form or another, and a way we can communicate shared emotion and experience even across generations, culture, location, backgrounds, and traditions. Much of what is expressed in the book of Psalm are things we experience and feel today. Because of that, we can learn a lot about God and ourselves in these Psalms. When kids can claim these five things – I am wonderful because God made me; I am safe because God watches over me; I am confident because God leads me; I am forgiven because God loves me; I am not afraid because God can be trusted – they will be unstoppable in their life with God!

We're talking a lot about serving and caring for others this month, so here's a little thought for you to chew on. "All of us are capable of finding joy in giving. But we shouldn't expect this to happen automatically. Spending money helping others doesn't necessarily promote happiness. Instead, it matters how we do it."
