Week # 2? (following February 28, 2021 sermon)??????????????????????????????????????????????(see sermon at info@)Scripture Luke 6: 43-45 “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit; 44 for each tree is known by its own fruit. Figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. 45 The good person out of the good treasure of the heart produces good, and the evil person out of evil treasure produces evil; for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks.?Key Word? ? KINDNESS (We can give up bullying language to be included.)Application / Message ?Jesus says in the Bible that if we want GOODNESS to come out of us, we have to put GOOD, KIND? thoughts inside us, in our hearts. If we have GOOD, KIND thoughts in our hearts, those around us see, hear, and feel Jesus’ GOODNESS and KINDNESS whenever they are around us. We trade being a bully and unkind, for showing others the GOODNESS AND KINDNESS Jesus teaches us. Then others will want to be around us and our friends. (GOODNESS and KINDNESS are good fruit.)??Hands On Activity ?Make a fist. Does a fist look like KINDNESS? What emotion does a fist make you feel? (fear, anger, meanness…) If you make a fist, can you pet an animal? Pat someone on the back to encourage them? Receive a gift? Hold someone’s hand who is scared? Play a game with them?

(Share examples)Practice:CHARADES (Act out someone doing something that shows KINDNESS or GOODNESS and have people guess what you are doing.)Prayer: Thank you God for teaching us to care about others enough to want to show them KINDNESS.
