Children Learn to Always Give God their Best

God accepted Abel’s offering because it was his best, and we too should always give the Lord our best!

Fourteen children in children’s church on Sunday, Oct. 20, heard the story of Cain and Abel and practiced its lesson of the importance of giving God their best. The Rev. Sabrina Gray taught the lesson with assistance from adult volunteers Kemba Gray and Desmond Hall.

The children learned that Cain killed his brother Abel because he was jealous that God accepted Abel’s gift but not his gift. God accepted Abel’s gift because it was the best he could give, Rev. Gray said.

Rev. Gray encouraged the children to always give God their best too, from riding in the car to accompanying their parents to the grocery store. During the service the children also acted out the story of Cain and Abel, she said.

In addition to hearing the lesson, the children prayed and sang songs. The kids also were taught about the importance of bringing an offering to support the church building and an upcoming children’s ministry project.
