Hello Parents!
I hope your family had a great Spring Break! This week in our “Tough Topics” series we will be talking about immigration. Our conversation on this topic will continue to center on the 3 Facts we began this series with. Our teaching time will use Romans 13:1-2 and Romans 5:27-29. The scripture students will be looking at in small groups is Romans 12:9-21.
In our conversation we will talk about the difference between an immigrant and a refugee and look at what the bible says about treating a stranger and our neighbor. We will NOT be talking about the current political debate of border security.
