In February, Faith Trekkers grades 1 through 6 learned in the different workshops (art and video) that just like the widow and her coins, they can give what they have and God will be pleased.  Learning from the story of the widow's mite (Mark 12:41-44), kids came to understand that it's not how much you give, but giving what you have.  Our memory verse was, "...^43bthis poor widow has given more than all the others.  ⁴⁴They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything she had to live on."

Our artists designed gift certificates for the recipient of their choice, with gifts ranging from hugs to "housecleaning with no whining."
