Family Devotional #7 - OPERATION COOPERATION!

Goal:  To teach the family how important and fun it is to work together as a team and how much can be accomplished when we cooperate with each other.

 

Singing:  Have the kids suggest the songs.  Have them teach you the songs they sing in Kids Kingdom.

 

Prayer:  Have a family prayer, thanking God for each member.

 

Scripture: 
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.  (Galatians 6:2)

 

LESSON:

  1. Help each family member learn the memory verse, Gal.6:2.
  2. Have each family member write on a slip of paper a small
    task that  they would like to have done. Put the papers in a container and shake them up. Example: Dad may request
    that his shoes be polished, or one of the kids may request
    that a broken toy be fixed, or one might ask for help to
    clean his/her room…..be sure each person writes out or
    says (if they can’t write) a task they’d like completed.
  3. One by one draw out the slips and as a family, proceed to complete as many of he tasks as possible, one at a time. Each family member should be encouraged to participate
    in each task in some way.
        
  4. Be very upbeat and excited as you accomplish each task.
    Make it fun!
  5. After completing all the tasks possible, reward each worker
    by having hot chocolate with marshmallows together. The
    family head should pray, thanking God for teaching the
    family how important and fun it is to cooperate with each other.
