Love is Kind
Today we are thinking about how love is kind.
Christians call kindness 'love in action'. Kindness is very practical; it is something you can do not just think or talk about.
Can you think of a time when someone showed you kindness?
Love in Action
Please read these kindness cards. Choose one or two to carry out over the next few days. The last card is blank for you to make up your own act of kindness.

Dear God,
Help us to put love into action in the form of kindness to show others that we care.
Amen

Love Is Not Rude
People can be rude in many ways: in what they say, in the way they say things and in what they say.
Can you think of a time when someone was rude to you? How did you feel?
Most people know when they are doing or saying something rude, but some people have difficulty working out whether they have said something in a rude way.
Can you say the phrases opposite in a kind way and then in a rude way?
The Bible says the way we talk to people can either be loving or not. How we speak can either help or hurt. The way we say things matters as much as what we say. Please be mindful of that today.
Prayer
Dear God,
Please help us to accept all people as precious and valuable and show that we think they are worthy by the way we treat them and how we speak.
Amen

Love Keeps No Score of Wrong
Some people keep a score or record of wrongs. If someone hits them, they remember and make sure they hit the person back. If someone says something unkind, they make sure they say something unkind back. What do you think about that?
In the Bible Paul said that love does not keep a record of wrong. Keeping score of wrongs is sometimes called 'bearing a grudge'.
It is a refusal to forgive. We could rewrite Paul's description of love and say, 'Love does not bear a grudge.'
Can you think of an example of not bearing a grudge - perhaps you have read about a character in a book that does not bear a grudge ..
Prayer
Dear God,
Teach us to forgive the wrongs done to us and not to keep a record of them.
Amen

Please click on the audio track and enjoying singing this hymn.
Who do you think put the colours in the rainbow?
Rainbows
When did you last see a rainbow?
How did it make you feel?
Talk with your neighbour about when rainbows appear?
Is it when it is rainy or sunny?
Can you name the different colours in a rainbow?
Noah’s Ark and the Rainbow
Noah and his family were tired and sad. The animals and birds were tired and sad too. They had been in the ark for a very long time. When at last the door was opened they slowly made their way outside. The sky was still cloudy and dull. Smelly black mud covered everything in sight. Everyone was unhappy at what they saw.
But God hadn't forgotten Noah and all the creatures. To make them feel better, he decided to put a rainbow into the cloudy sky. 'I shall make a rainbow,' God said, 'and it will be one of the most beautiful sights in the world.'
So, first of all, God made a stripe of red. 'In my new world,' he said, 'red will be the colour of bright poppy flowers, ripe apples and robin's chests.'
Then came orange. God said: 'Orange will be the colour of pumpkins, autumn leaves and ginger cats watching goldfish!'
Yellow was next. God decided that yellow would be the colour of buttercups and the honey made by busy bees. 'And I will hide yellow inside hen's eggs,' he said!
'Here's a nice colour,' God thought, as he mixed green. 'I shall make lots of things that are green, like cabbages and caterpillars, grass, and grasshoppers too.' You only have to look around to see that green is one of God's favourite colours.
And next to green God put blue and indigo. 'Blue and indigo will be the colour of the sea and the sky,' he decided.
Finally God added purple. 'Purple,' he said, 'will be a very special colour. I will use it for butterfly flowers and hills covered with heather. It will be the colour of delicious grapes and juicy plums.'
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple all shone brightly together in the rainbow. Noah smiled when he saw the colours in the sky, and the animals felt happy too! It was God's promise that the world would soon be new again.
Prayer
Dear God,
Thank you for all the colours of the rainbow
which brighten up our homes and school.
Thank you for pens and paints which are fun to use.
Help us to make the world a happier place for everyone,
especially for those who need our friendship and our care.
Amen
