Do you have a curriculum that makes kids feel left out when they can’t be there each week?

Episode Transcript
Ron: Is your church kid sensitive or out of touch?
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: I heard about a schoolteacher who gave her kids the option of making two Christmas gifts for their parents. If they made just one students who live between mom’s and dad’s house would have to choose which parent to surprise and which to disappoint. So she gathered enough supplies for two gifts. The other teacher in her grade thought that was way too much trouble.
