Sandals Church Kids
We are inviting our kids and families to partner with our church as we learn to be generous like Jesus! As we participate in the Generous Like Jesus giving campaign and invest in the future of Sandals Church, we are excited to partner with you to create opportunities for you to teach and lead your child in what it means to be generous.
God has been incredibly generous to us and Jesus modeled a generous life with both His time and resources while He was on earth. Our church is investing in the future of Sandals Church by raising additional funds for people, places, and technology in order to reach more people with the Gospel. We are excited to include our kids as we rally our church to raise 4.6 million dollars!
We are asking that you invest time in praying with your kids about growing the generosity of your family and our church, create space each week to talk to your kids about generosity, and offer opportunities for your kids to earn money. Our hope is that you will include your child in the process as you pray together about what it looks like for your family to be generous and empower them to raise money themselves! Use this bag to collect any money that your child raises to give to the campaign!
Here are suggestions for ways that your child can earn money to be part of this campaign!
- chores
- lemonade stand
- mow lawns
- pet care
- babysit
- yard work
- wash cars
- bake sale
- garage sale
- sell bracelets or handmade items
- recycle cans and bottles
- tutoring other kids
