Write a Note
Say: When Moses called God his Banner, he was talking about a flag people waved as they marched into battle. He was thanking God for going before them and winning the battle.
Ask:
- What are some ways God has helped you succeed?
- How can we remember to than God when he helps us?
Distribute the paper and pencils, and have kids write thank-you notes to God. Then have kids slip the notes of gratitude in their pennant pockets.
Say: Take your pennants home to hang on a doorknob or somewhere in your house. Encourage your family to put thank you notes in the pennant pocket. At Thanksgiving dinner, read the thank you notes with your family as you wave your pennant for God.
