Courage

 

This week, we read the wonderful story JABARI JUMPS by Gaia Cornwall. 

We talked about what it means to have courage. We agreed that courage doesn't mean not being afraid... it's about stepping up and doing stuff even if we are feeling scared, anxious or nervous.

God says, have courage, for I am with you.

Livvie said, it's a bit like someone cheering you on saying, 'You've got this!' I think that's a pretty good explanation, and as Livvie said, we can help others find courage by saying, 'hey, you've got this!' and being a cheerleader for them too.

God's our biggest cheerleader. God's always with us, loving us. God's got us!

We created some pictures of scared faces to remind everyone that it's ok to feel afraid, and to just remember that God is with us, giving us courage and strength to do hard stuff.

A big thank you to Ella for leading our prayer this morning!
