This Sunday, we’re discovering…
Main Point: We Can Celebrate God’s Plan
Bible Story: Mary and Joseph (Luke 1:26-38; Matthew 1:18-24)
WHAT YOU DO
Watch the video! Sing and dance along to the worship songs, watch the Bible story, and connect the big idea to real life!
Talk about each of the questions to keep the conversation going
Do the activity together to have some fun and reinforce the big idea!
Question of the day! (all ages!)
Go around the room and ask the question: “If you could take any trip, where would you go?”
Questions for 1st-3rd Graders
How did Mary feel after the angel visited her? (Scared! She wasn’t married and didn’t know what people would think of her having a baby.)
What did the angel tell Joseph? (The angel told Joseph that Mary’s baby was God’s son, and he didn’t need to be afraid!)
When is it difficult to do what God asks us to do?
What can we remember about God when we don’t know the plan? (He is always with us, He loves us, we can trust Him!)
Questions for 4th-5th Graders
Have you heard this story before? Did anything new jump out to you today?
How do you think Mary and Joseph felt when the angel told them God’s plan?
When is it difficult to do what God asks us to do?
What can we remember about God when we don’t know the plan?
How is God with us? Think of a few different ways!
3. DO IT // ACTIVITY
ACTIVITY 1 - STORY TIMELINE
Use the half sheet timeline to create your own life timeline! Put high points and low points on the timeline, and then put times when you felt God with you. Use this timeline as a way to remember that God is always with you and guiding you through the highs and lows.
ACTIVITY 2 - PERFECT DAY
Grab the planner activity sheet and something to write with! On the sheet, write out EVERYTHING you would want to do on your perfect day — from what you would eat to what you would do! Even when we plan out our perfect day, things don’t always go as planned! BUT, we can trust that when we follow God, his plans for us always work out!
YOU DID IT!
Continue the conversation all week by talking about showing mercy and trusting God!
