Church Family Moment for Sunday, June 28, 2026

By Director of Spiritual Worship Rebecca Guzman

1. Read or listen to The Empty Pot by Demi. In this story, Ping tells the truth even when it is hard. This connects with Jeremiah, who reminds the people that real peace is connected to truth. It also connects with Romans, where Paul reminds us not to simply copy everyone else, but to let God shape who we are.
2. Play “Whole Self Freeze.” Move around the room. When someone calls out a body part, freeze in a pose that shows how you can use that part of yourself for God. For hands, freeze like you are helping someone up or sharing food. For feet, freeze like you are walking toward someone who needs a friend. For heart, freeze like you are showing love or care. For mouth, freeze like you are speaking kind and truthful words. For mind, freeze like you are thinking about what is good.
3. Make art about real peace. At church, children will use Play-Doh mats. At home, draw a large peace sign and fill it with pictures, colors, or words that show what real peace looks like. You might add hearts, helping hands, brave words, people listening, or signs of hope.
4. Pray with your whole self.
   God, use my hands to help.
   God, use my feet to go where love is needed.
   God, use my heart to care.
   God, use my mouth to speak truth and kindness.
   God, use my mind to think about what is good.
   Amen.
5. Wonder together:
   Why can telling the truth be hard?
   Can something sound peaceful but not really be true?
   How can we use our whole selves to help bring real peace?
