Activity
Read our memory verse for the month Colossians 3:23
Secret Servant: Take small pieces of paper and write down each family member’s name on a piece. Put them all in a hat or container. Each person in the family draws a name from the hat and does not show anyone whose name they drew (You cannot draw your own name). For the rest of the week, your mission is to do things that would serve or bless the person whose name you drew. But there’s a catch! You must do it secretly so that they don’t know who it is that is serving them.
