Tonight at Connection group John O. gave a lesson on Matthew 25 talking about how when we give food and drinks to the poor and needy we in turn are serving God. After the lesson all the children made Manna bags to give to those they see who are in need! It was a great lesson!
The kiddos filling their Manna Bags... meat, fruit cups, water, pudding, granola bars... all non-perishable and sure to be a blessing to someone!
The kids put a special note in the bag after they were filled!
Sydney wrote a very special message or her Manna bag..."Just remember God loves you for who you are... rich or poor"! The wisdom of a sweet child!
Stone and his Manna bag!
It is such a wonderful blessing to our family to be part of such a fabulous connection group!

Great idea, and a great example for your kids!
We don't call them Manna Bags (that is a great name by the way) but we keep them in our car to hand out when we see someone. Didn't think of pudding or fruit cups last time...will add that to the list! Thanks!
