1. Giving-Read Acts 2:45 and talk about it. How can you give to believers who have need? Collect items from your home or think of a project your family could do together to meet the needs of believers that you know of.
2. Follow In His Steps-Get the bottom of your feet or shoes wet and walk down the driveway. While the footprints are still wet, each other person should take a turn trying to walk in your steps. Talk about what it looks like to follow in Christ’s steps in your daily life.
3. Sheep’s Names-Create artwork of your name. Talk about what it means that Jesus knows your name and that you are HIS sheep. Talk about how you know Jesus, your Shepherd’s voice. Hang your artwork where it will remind you of Jesus’ love and care for you, His sheep.
