Cain Rebels against God

If you don't have a copy of this quarter's family ministry guide, you can download it at www.emmanuelbaptist.com/familyministrybooklet.pdf or pick it up at the children's check in desk.  This week's activity suggestion is Plan a service project as a family or with another family.  After doing the project talk about attitudes and why we serve others, which connects with very well with the message Pastor Duke preached this morning.  

Is there a better way for adults and children to talk about showing God's love and doing it with a right attitude than actually doing something?

Two suggestions:  help a neighbor or help a shut-in of Emmanuel.

Date:  09.23
