This Week's Bible Challenge - Sticky Faith Week of May 15, 2016

(c) 2016 Turczyn-Toles

Located in America’s #1 most diverse city, Gaithersburg Presbyterian Church is part of a larger initiative started by the Fuller Youth Institute to work on a concept called "Sticky Faith." ("...develop a deep, growing faith in kids that “sticks” and continues to mature long-term.") It involves working to keep those youth active in church still active as they age, passing on one's faith to the next generation.  (See 2 Timothy 1:5.)

As part of the ongoing effort, this week's sticky faith challenge is to:

1. Consider as a family donating one item each to a local shelter or rescue mission that help distribute clothes, toys, and certain necessities to those in need.

2. The challenge is for each family member to choose something that they would actually wear or use.

3. Discuss with your kids why it’s Christian to give away something they value for themselves. Keep in mind, they have permission to say “no”.

4. Hopefully they won’t and instead they’ll start asking questions about what they really need.

5. Focus on the process of dropping off your donations together.
