On Mission Together: Live with Urgency

Use this special emphasis Sunday to recognize the role of adults in helping children discern how God may be calling them to embrace His direction for them—first by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and then continuing to grow in stature and favor with the Lord and with men. Help children and youth understand that being on mission means they are to live with urgency in helping others hear God’s call and respond to it.
