OUR THEME THIS YEAR IS
My Body, God's Temple
God asked Moses to build a sanctuary that he may dwell with his people (Exodus 25:8). And indeed He did manifest his presence in the Most Holy compartment of the Sanctuary just above the mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant, which held the ten commandments. Then God the Son came as man, Jesus Christ so that God could dwell physically amongst men and offer to us the only saving gift, Salvation. God has always desired to be with mankind. After Christ’s death and resurrection it was time to make the dwelling even more personal. God wanted to dwell inside of us.
Our very bodies are to be the temple of God. Paul, in 1 Corinthians 6:19 - 20 said “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.”
Picturing our bodies as the place where God dwells makes a big difference in how we treat it. Paul also said “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. We do not have to be in a special building to be in God’s presence. We do not have to be in a special setting for God to dwell with us.
This year we will learn and teach our children that every part of their bodies, not just the mind, but also their feelings, their arms, legs, face, skin, stomach and everything else is important to God, then they and we will have a true appreciation for God’s creation in human beings, and in each other.

THEME SONG AND MEMORY VERSE
MEMORY VERSE
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. |
