Dig Deeper
· The Holy Spirit gave each of us a special gift. Kids generally love personality assessments, and identifying their spiritual gifts goes right along with that. At the same time, some kids may walk away still not being confident in what their gifts are. Make sure your kids know that the best way to find out their spiritual gifts is just to serve God and see what fits best!
· Think About: How do you use your spiritual gifts at church? How did you find out those were your gifts?
Dig In to Prayer
· Ask God to use your kids in your class in mighty ways as the Holy Spirit empowers them with gifts.
