About this Lesson Plan

Thankful Still for Who God Is!

Theme: Thankful Still
Memory Verse: "Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!"
1 Chronicles 16:34

Challenge Verse: The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man,  nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. Acts 17:24-25

Bible Story: The Greatness of God • Isaiah 40 & Acts 17


The Point: God doesn’t need anything

About the Thankful Still Curriculum 

In these 4 lessons, students will see that some things never change and that we can always give thanks for these things. This curriculum also includes a month-long Thanksgiving Challenge where each week students will add to the challenge and hopefully develop an attitude of gratitude by the end of the month.
