Using the Pathfinders' new book as my guide, we're going to talk about families and complete the 2 pages in our paper bag books about Cherishing my Family.
We are also going to start working on this project based on Micah 6:8. Sometimes in our own family, it's the hardest thing to follow: "He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." If we can act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God in our families, they will definitely be feeling cherished!
This project is all over Pinterest, so I know you've probably seen THE MICAH 6:8 CRAFT. We painted the above hands, feet, and heart on a 12x12 canvas. While the leaders are working with painting one girl's hands and feet, the other girls are going to be coloring and cutting out their cherish my family coupons for their coupon books in the paper bag book.
When it's all finished, I will write (with sharpie) near the hands: Act Justly, near the heart: Love Mercy, and near the feet: Walk Humbly. And the girls will get markers or paint to decorate the edges. This is step 1, and probably enough to tackle for the first session on Cherishing My Family.
I plan on giving the final projects to the girls in December after they're wrapped (by the girls at a meeting), to give as Christmas gifts to their parents.
