God asks us to use our talents to help serve others. There are so many opportunities to use our gifts in our community, at SOTV, and even in worship services!
Spend time brainstorming what special talents you have or create a festive turkey with ideas on how to use those gifts out in the world.
Parents, use your own discretion when it comes to your kids. If content is rated for certain ages then we will indicate that. Enjoy!

Read: Ephesians 2:8-10: “For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we may walk in them.”
Reflect: What talents has God created in you? How can you use them to help people or show love?
Pray: “Dear Creator, thank you for giving us many different talents. Help us use them for good! Amen.”
Bless: Trace a cross on each other’s shoulder, hand, or head and say “[Name], you are a beloved child of God.”

In “I’m So Little, What Can I Do? / A Story About Serving Others” we see so many ways that little kids make a big difference by using their talents!
As you watch “The Reflection in Me” and then take a look in the mirror, think about all the wonderful gifts God has created in you! You brighten the world just by being—and sharing—who you are.
Let “Take My Life (and Let it Be)” (by Frances R. Havergal; music by Chris Tomlin) be our prayer as we consider all that God has given us, and how we can use God’s gifts to help others.
