Blessing:  Friends, in this part of The Big God Story, it says that Boaz greeted the people who worked for him by saying, “The Lord be with you!” The workers would then say back to him, “The Lord bless you!” We can bless each other with those words today too.

Turn to someone in the room and say “The Lord be with you” - The Lord bless you!  

Children, may you know that you are blessed by God. May you go out and be a blessing to others this week!
