Bible Point: When I take care of the earth, I am taking care of the needs of others.

Bible Story: Jesus Heals a Paralytic Luke 5:17-26

Memory Verse: Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Matthew 22:37-39 (NIV)
 

When we take care of the earth, we are creating a better life for others, especially the poor. If we are to be Christ followers, we must consider what our neglect, misuse and over use of the environment is doing to those around us.

Kids will learn that creation care not only takes care of the environment, but often also takes care of those in need.
