Bible Story References: Mark 12:41-44; 1 Peter 4:8-11; 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 Bible Verse: Each one, as a good manager of God's different gifts, must use for the good of others the special gift he has received from God. (1 Peter 4:10, Good News Translation) Children will have the opportunity to learn that: There are many ways for us to use our talents, time, and money to serve God. All that we have comes to us as a gift from God. Stewardship is an important part of living as a follower of Jesus. Stewardship means being a good manager of all God has given to us. As good stewards, we are to take care of the gifts God has given to us and use them to serve others. Talents are the skills and abilities that we have to offer in service to God. Giving gifts of our time and talents is worth just as much to the church as giving gifts of money or possessions. Age: ee (B645) SERVING FROM THE HEART FOR YOUTH: LEADER 3 CAROL CARTMILL & Y.
