🌞 Sunny U: Weeks 2–5

Theme: "Shining with God's Light"

---

WEEK 2: “God Lights the Way”

📖 Scripture: Psalm 119:105
🧠 Memory Verse: “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.”

💡 Devotional Thought:
Have you ever tried walking in the dark? It’s tricky! God’s Word helps us know where to step, how to be kind, and when to speak up. It's like carrying a flashlight through life.

🎨 Activity:
Decorate a flashlight craft or a paper lantern. Write the memory verse around the light beam.
Optional: Go on a mini “light walk” around the house with a flashlight, sharing how God helps us when we feel unsure.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Prompt:
Ask: “What’s something that feels dark or confusing right now?” Talk together about how God’s Word can guide you through it.

WEEK 3: “Brave Because God is With Me”

📖 Scripture: Joshua 1:9
🧠 Memory Verse: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid... for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

💡 Devotional Thought:
Even brave people sometimes feel scared. But God doesn’t ask us to be brave alone. He walks with us through school days, new places, and even when we feel left out.

🎨 Activity:
Make a “Bravery Badge.” Use stickers or drawings to decorate it with symbols of strength (hearts, shields, etc.). Wear it as a reminder: God’s with me!

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Prompt:
Share a time when YOU had to be brave. Ask your child, “When did you feel brave this week? What helped?”

WEEK 4: “God’s Plan in the Peaks and Valleys”

📖 Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11–13 + Romans 8:28
🧠 Memory Verse: “For I know the plans I have for you... plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11

💡 Devotional Thought:
Sometimes life is up high like a mountain (yay!), and sometimes it feels down low like a valley (ugh). But God is with us in both places. He never forgets the big picture of our story.

🎨 Activity:
Draw a picture of a mountain and a valley. Add happy things (like sunny skies) and tough things (like clouds or rain). Write “God is with me” across both.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Prompt:
Talk about one high and one low of the week. Pray and thank God for being with your family through them both.

WEEK 5: “Shine Your Light!”

📖 Scripture: Matthew 5:14–16
🧠 Memory Verse: “You are the light of the world... let your light shine before others.”

💡 Devotional Thought:
You have God’s light inside you! And when you’re kind, honest, or helpful, you’re lighting up the world like a lamp in a dark room.

🎨 Activity:
Create “Shine Cards.” Write or draw little acts of kindness you can do this week. Place them in a jar or tape to a sunny window.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Prompt:
As a family, choose one way to “shine your light” this week — like writing a card, helping a neighbor, or making someone smile.
