\nMake a list of actions that describes things that are ways to serve, ways that we please God (saints), things that give us peace, or things that are grace (undeserved gifts) from God<\/p>\n

Activity\u00a0<\/strong>
\nIn Philippians 1:1-11, Christians are described as servants and saints as recipients of grace and peace. A servant looks after the needs of other people. A saint lives a life that is pleasing to God. Call out the items on your list. Kids will respond in one of the ways below.<\/p>\n

* If the item read is an act of service, they get on their knees.
\n* If it is an action a saint would do, they put their hands together as in prayer
\n* If it is something that gives us peace they rest their heads on hands together as if going to sleep
\n* If it is an act of God’s grace (i.e. a gift from God) they open their arms wide to receive it.<\/p>\n

You can go through items and let kids even decide items of their own.<\/p>\n

Game variation As a game eliminate anyone who performs the incorrect action for an item.<\/strong><\/p>\n
