Question of the Day: What is your favorite way to celebrate?
Read about It
Read: Acts 16:11–15
When something amazing happens, don’t you want to go and tell everyone about it? It’s so much fun when good news spreads fast and people join you in celebrating. In the Bible story, we read about a woman named Lydia who believed in God. After hearing Paul’s message, she wanted to be baptized in water. Not only did she get baptized that day, but other members of her household were baptized that day too!
When God does something in our life, it’s important for us to share it with others. Not only can we tell others about what happened, but we can celebrate together!
