INDIVIDUALITY = discovering who you are meant to be so you can make a difference.

Being an individual is more than just discovering how we are like someone else or different from others – at least for believers it is. Being an individual is also about how our heavenly Father designed us to make a difference in this world. God, the master Architect, has a master plan in which He is weaving together all our character traits and experiences in order to shape and mold us into the people He wants us to become, and He’s doing this with each of us, twining our lives together in ways that are intricate, beautiful, and mind-boggling.

So in October we’ll be talking about individuality, discovering who you are meant to be so you can make a difference. We’ll introduce kids to some not-so-well-known individuals, each of whom made a difference in the lives of people around them:
Week 1: THE Onesimus because when you belong to God, you can make a difference.

Week 2: THE Epaphroditus because when you take care of others, you can make a difference.

Week 3: THE Dorcas because when you use what you have to help others, you can make a difference.

And we’ll wrap up the month with a look at some verses in 1 Corinthians about how we’re one body with many parts: when you do your part, you can make a difference.
