Hello, elevate students and families, I hope you’re all doing well, and I hope you are all having a great week!

This week in Remix, we will be taking a break from the book of Acts, and we will be looking at different ways that we can be thankful this holiday season.

The key verse that we will be looking at is Ephesians 5:20, “Always give thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.” We will be focusing on this scripture passage through the game Scattergories, and we will be challenging our students to think of different things that they are thankful for while also encouraging them to apply scripture to their own life at the very end of our game.

I want to encourage the students to be thankful for all the things that God has provided them with, but I also want them to know and to understand how they can use scripture and apply it to those things that they are thankful for.

I also want to take a quick moment and say I am thankful for each of you and your families and your participation in our student ministry here at the Laurel Nazarene Church. Please know that I’m praying for your family this holiday season, and I am hopeful and praying that God will reveal Himself to you all this Holiday Season. 

Small Group Questions:

• Have you ever just made a list of things that you’re thankful for?
• What is your attitude after you wrote down the things that you were thankful for in our game?
• How has your attitude changed or how does it change when you go from wanting everything you see to being thankful for what you have?
• How often do we take time to be thankful?
• How can you give thanks for the things that God has given you this week?
