Friendship

Nobody Left Out

"Let nothing be done through selfish ambition, but in lowliness of mind esteem others better."
Philippians 2:3

Reflection

Every group has someone standing outside it. Inviting that person to play could be the most important thing you do all day.

Prayer

Jesus, help me include whoever is alone. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. Who is often left out at school or church?
  2. How would it feel to be left out?
  3. How can you invite someone in?

5-minute activity

Plan a simple game the child can invite a left-out kid to join, like tag or a card game. Practice the invitation together: "Do you want to play with us?" Read Philippians 2:3-4.
