Hey Carpool Crew!
What should you do when a new kid shows up this summer?
In today's episode, Pastor Justin shares a powerful lesson from Hebrews 13:2 about hospitality, which is a fancy word for making people feel welcome and helping them belong. Whether it's a new kid at church, summer camp, the neighborhood pool, or riding a bike down your street, God gives us opportunities every day to notice people who might feel left out.
Jesus welcomed people everywhere He went, and He invites us to do the same. Sometimes it only takes a smile, a wave, or four simple words: "Hey, want to hang out?" Those small acts of kindness can make a huge difference in someone's day.
Kids will learn practical ways to welcome new friends, step outside their comfort zones, and show the kind of love that Jesus shows us every day. They'll also be reminded to involve their parents when meeting new kids and building new friendships.
Today's big idea: Welcoming a new kid is doing something Jesus does for you every day.
This episode is perfect for families looking to teach kindness, friendship, inclusion, hospitality, and Christian character during the summer months.
