This meeting was about dealing with peer pressure. This was an attempt to make children aware that peer pressure will become an increasing influence on them as they grow older. We want children to learn how to deal with it and to choose friends that will help them make the right decisions.

The Bible Material for this lesson is based on Esther 3; 4:8, 16; 7-8:2). In this we see Mordecai dealing with peer pressure.

The scripture memory verse for this week is

“Even a young man is known by his actions – if his behavior is pure and upright.” – Proverbs 20:11 HCSB

We hope that children will learn that they can say “No” to what they know to be wrong. Some children will begin to understand that they can recognize the wrong actions and wrong influences of others. And some children will even understand that their self-control and obedience to God will help them to stand up to peer pressure. This honors God and is to their benefit.
