Service

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.
Mark 10:45
Why it matters

Why this shapes a child

Children who serve discover they are needed, and that discovery reorders how they see themselves. Serving pulls a student out of the self-focus that so much of their world encourages.

Try this at home

Do one small thing for a neighbor together this month — and let your child lead part of it.

Classes cover one trait at a time, so a short conversation at home is usually all it takes to reinforce the week's lesson.

Help your child grow in service.

Weekly classes are voluntary, parent-approved, and led by trusted neighbors from churches across New London.
