Activity for June 26: Collect leaves or berries that have fallen to the ground. Talk about how they stop growing when disconnected from the tree or plant. Explain how Jesus is the Vine, and we are the branches. If we quit praying, reading the Bible and going to church, our spiritual lives stop growing. (John 15:5)
