Sharing Jesus
The fourth quarter is upon us, and the kiddos are focusing on sharing Jesus. But it begs the question: What does it mean to share, let along share Jesus? For some, sharing is giving. For others sharing is receiving. But Jesus came to give (share) Himself so that others could have their share (receive) of Himself. Receive forgiveness and goodness and redemption and eternal life and relationship and love and freedom and and and.. We know "sharing" isn't easy! Let us join together as our kiddos finish out this year focused on giving, and receiving, the greatest gift of all - Jesus Christ!
Quarter 4: Share Jesus
You may have noticed your kiddos coming home with an activities calendar. This calendar will feature key actions that will help them to learn more about showing Jesus.
Take this opportunity to create dialogue, dig deeper into the character of Jesus Christ, and help our kiddos share Jesus to others. Our monthly Memory Verse will also highlight our quarterly focus.
Please encourage your kiddos to complete each activity and memorize their verse.
December's Memory Verse:
"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.'"
Luke 19:10 (ESV)

Prayer Pal of the Month
Introducing Mathias Walukaga!
Mathias is now 8-years old, living at Osanidde, an orphanage on Bussi Island in Lake Victoria, Uganda.
Join us as we lift up Mathias through prayer and encouragement for the month of December! We invite you and your kiddos to write letters, draw pictures, and take photos, to share with her during this time! We look forward to collecting your thoughts, prayers, and photos at the end of the month. *Remember we are collecting letters and Prayer Pal journals to send to our kiddos in Osanidde! Make sure to turn them in by December 15, 2025.

*If you have not had a chance to fill out/turn in a prayer journal for our previous prayer pals, you still can! Prayer Pal journals are available in the foyer on our 'Missions' wall. Reach out to Bethany or June on how to participate!
How can you help?
Scripture reminds us of the importance of teaching and training up our children. Deuteronomy 6:6-7 encourages us stating, "These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." (NIV) Let us embrace these words in our daily walk with God and as an example to those that look up to us!
We are always looking for volunteers with a heart for our kiddos! Volunteering can be through sponsorship of a child at Osanidde, providing care to our babies and toddlers, teaching our young ones, mentoring our teens - young adults, and through prayer! Help us to "Train up a child in the way he should go: And when he is old, he will not depart from it." (Prov. 22:6 KJV). Please reach out to children@dayspring.family to start your volunteer journey.
