MEMORY VERSE
Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
~Matthew 5:44
SONG
Welcome to the family, we’re glad that you have come
To share your life with us, as we grow in love and
May we always be to you, what God would have us be
A family always there, to be strong and to lean on
May we learn to love each other, more with each new day
May words of love be on our lips in everything we say
May the Spirit melt our hearts and teach us how to pray
That we might be a true family
TO THE PARENTS
Through a meal and words of blessing, the promise of the Savior’s birth was passed down from Isaac to Jacob. Through Jacob’s descendants—that is, his children’s children—Savior would be born. The blessing was the beginning of something new for Jacob.
In Baptism, God makes us members of His family. We are His children. And through the power of Baptism, God forgives our sins. The Holy Spirit works faith in us and gives us His power to forgive others, even others who hurt us.
This is an awesome gift we receive from God and give to others. Through God’s power, we can sincerely forgive and even gladly do good to those who sin against us.
God showed His love for us by continuing to carry out His purposes and plan for salvation, even through sinful people.
PRAYER
Dear Jesus, help me not to hurt people’s feelings. If I do, help me know that I need to say I am sorry and ask for forgiveness. Help me also forgive the people that hurt my feelings. In your name I pray. Amen.
