Church Family Moment for Sunday, February 15, 2026

By Director of Spiritual Formation Rebecca Guzman

1. Story Connection: Draw the Line
   Watch Draw the Line by Kathryn Otoshi). This is a wordless book that tells its story entirely through pictures. It invites us to think about conflict, listening, boundaries, and working things out with one another—just as Jesus teaches in today’s scripture. A helpful activity guide can be found here.
2. Work Together
   Try a cooperative activity such as completing a puzzle together or creating a shared drawing. Notice how listening, patience, and teamwork help the task go more smoothly. Talk about how these same skills can help repair relationships when there is conflict.
3. Craft: Make a Calm-Down Jar
   Create a simple calm-down jar using a clear container, water, glitter, and a little glue. Shake it up and watch the glitter slowly settle. This can be a reminder that taking time to calm down often helps us speak kindly and work through problems more peacefully.
4. Wonder Together
   1. I wonder why Jesus said to go directly to the person you are upset with.
   2. I wonder how it feels when someone talks with you instead of about you.
   3. I wonder what helps you calm down when you are angry or hurt.
   4. I wonder how we can practice being kind and honest this week.
