Say
We can all feel worried or scared sometimes, but when we do, we can trust
that God is with us and taking care of us! So let me hear you say this after me:
Elementary (ES)
When I Feel Worried, (palms on cheeks)
I can trust God. (point up)
Preschool (PS)
When I’m Scared, (make scared face)
God Is (point up)
With Me (thumbs to chest)

What are two things you can remember about God when you feel scared?
Have Fun Together
Work with your family to build a “Tower of Fear.”
Do
1. Take turns stacking blocks to build a tall tower. For each block someone adds, have them say something that makes them feel worried or scared.
2. After your family has completed the tower, allow your kids to knock it down!
3. Have a race to see how fast you can clean up all the blocks!
Play
Practice saying the memory verse together a few times, then play “Muddy Boots.” Sit in a circle and have everyone put their feet in the middle. Going around the circle, have each person stomp as the they say the next word of the verse. Whoever stomps their foot on “20” is out. Play until one foot is left.

Father God, thank You for all the ways You have taken care of us. We choose
right now to trust You instead of worrying. We have nothing to fear because
we have You. We love You! Amen!
