Privilege is a Blessing We Give Away to Be in Community

It is easy to “own” our skills and resources which are well practiced or hard-won, such as educational achievements and professional craft. However, we often take for granted knowledge, abilities and opportunities we have by virtue of advantageous birth, fortune or geography—our privileges. This session teaches children to recognize the ways in which they are privileged. Children learn that privileges, like other gifts, are best used and most valuable when we share them with others.

Take Home

As a family, choose a day to spend together in the service of someone else. Perhaps cook for someone in the congregation who is not feeling well. Is there an elderly person who would like some work done around their home or apartment? Talk with the parish minister about reaching out to those who would appreciate interaction with others in the congregation. Perhaps reach out to someone you have never met before.
