Wisdom
The WG’s program begins with the importance that God places on WISDOM. Our theme verse is Proverbs 16:16, “How much better is it to get wisdom than gold and to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.” This verse is the foundation of the WG program. The wise person realizes the value of obeying God’s word. We will encourage each boy and girl to obey the scriptures they memorize ~ that’s being WISE.
Wisdom is: Hearing and Obeying God’s word.”

Trust
What is trust in God? How can we explain trust to children? How is trust
demonstrated in our lives? This month the boys and girls are taught that God has a plan for each of their lives. Trusting God is knowing that He loves me and wants me to be with Him forever. When we are saved (born again) we place our eternal souls into God’s hands. Why can’t we do the same with our lives? We are to trust Him with all of our heart.
Trust is: “Placing my life in God’s hands.”

Kindness
Why are we much kinder to strangers than we are to the ones we love? god wants us to be kind boys and girls. How do you like to be treated? Do you like to be treated with kind words and actions? This month the boys and girls are encouraged to be kind at home, especially to brothers and sisters, to be kind to their friends and to be kind to their pets. Some kind words are ‘Thank you and please’. Tommy finds out that counting to 10 keeps lots of angry words from coming out of his mouth.
Kindness is: ‘Treating others the way you want to be treated.”
|
Diligence
This month the boys and girls learn how important it is to ‘always do their best’. What are we to do our best? does God have anything to say about ‘doing our best’? In the Bible it’s called diligence. We find out that the diligent person will one day be the boss, the slothful person will be the slave. Doing our best has it’s own rewards. Good things happen to Tommy this month as he learns to do his best!
Diligence is: ‘Always doing my best for God and others.”
|
Courage
This month the boys and girls learn what to do when they are enticed to do wrong. Proverbs tells them ‘to consent thou not!’. That’s saying ‘NO!’ It’s not easy to be the only one to say NO! That’s why it’s called courage.
Courage is: ‘Saying ‘NO’ when the crowd says ‘YES’!
