Spiritual Emphasis: This year’s theme is “Imitators.” God commands his followers to imitate Him as we show love to one another – Ephesians 4:32-5:4. We show this love through forgiveness, self-sacrifice, purity, and in our speech to each other. We are so excited to spend the weekend looking at these verses with your children, praying that God would transform their hearts and actions to be more like His own.
