Subject: Free resources for November’s character focus

This month’s character focus is Hospitality: “Cheerfully sharing food, shelter, and spiritual refreshment with those God brings into my life”

This month, our character focus is Hospitality. The operational definition of Hospitality is “cheerfully sharing food, shelter, and spiritual refreshment with those God brings into my life.”


Hospitality begins with a heart that is receiving Jesus’ love and is willing to share His love with anyone. You can befriend others and invite them to a meal, game night, or Bible study. Hospitality is a primary way to encourage believers in their faith and to extend God’s love to all people.


Since the spirit of hospitality is to welcome people into your life wherever you are, your family could invite someone to join your picnic, church event, or outing. Share God’s love without expecting a favor or invitation in return.

Each booklet in the comprehensive children’s curriculum contains four complete lessons. A lesson is comprised of a Bible story and questions, a memory verse, and a craft or activity. The character quality is reinforced with a corresponding hymn history and sheet music, an overview of the character quality, and suggested resources for further study. Through this study, children are encouraged to welcome all people and extend God’s love to them.
