Good Friends are Loyal

Big Idea | God shows me loyalty through Jesus.

Bible Verse | Proverbs 17:17 NLT “A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.”

This week’s lesson is a stand-alone lesson. To begin the new year, we will explore friendship and how God is a loyal friend to us. Through Jesus, God knows us and stands by us, even when we make mistakes. Kids will take home a friendship bracelet to remind them of God’s loyal friendship today.
