Small Things Count
Sunday, June 29th
SCRIPTURE: Mark 12:41-44
TEACHING OVERVIEW: This week, we explored the story of the widowâs offering in Mark 12:41-44. Jesus noticed a widow who gave just two small coins at the temple. Even though her gift was tiny compared to others, Jesus said she gave more than anyone else because she gave everything she had, and she gave it with her whole heart. This teaches us that God sees and values even the smallest acts of generosity when they come from a loving heart.

God is the ultimate giver!
Sunday, June 15th
SCRIPTURE: John 3:16
TEACHING OVERVIEW: This week, we focused on the big idea that God is the ultimate giver. Centred on John 3:16, we discovered how Godâs incredible love for us led Him to give the greatest gift of allâHis Son, Jesus. This gift is freely offered to everyone, and it becomes ours when we choose to believe in Him. As we reflect on Godâs generosity, we are invited to think about how we can follow His example by giving to othersâwhether itâs our time, our abilities, or our kindness.
