This Sunday, we’re discovering…
Main Point: Jesus loves me!
Bible Story: Mary and Martha - Luke 10:38-42
What you do
Watch the worship and story video together (and learn the verse of the month!!)
Talk about each of the questions to keep the conversation going
Pray together!
Make it - check out our suggested art activity.
Move it - to have some fun, move around, and reinforce the big idea!
Verse of the Month
A friend (hook your fingers together)
loves (hug yourself)
at all times (spin in a circle with arms out)
Proverbs 17:17 (hold hands like an open book)
God gave us the words of the Bible to show us who He is!
Practice the verse a few times! In Mission Kids, we often practice saying it different ways, like sqeaky, SUPER LOUD, or with a roar!
Talk It Out
Who were the two friends that Jesus went to see? (Mary and Martha)
Who wanted to get everything ready? (Martha)
Do you like to spend time with your friends?
What did Mary do when Jesus got there? (she sat and talked with Jesus)
What was Martha doing when Jesus got there? (she was getting everything ready for Jesus and very busy)
How did Martha feel about Mary not doing any of the work? (she was upset)
What did Jesus tell Martha? (that spending time with Him was the best thing to do)
What kinds of things can we do with Jesus? (sing to him, take walks and talk to him, etc.)
Pray Together
Before you pray, ask your kiddo where their favorite place to spend time with Jesus is. It could be your yard, your bedroom, a park, the car, or anywhere. Then pray together using the one below or your own.
“Dear God, it is an amazing feeling knowing that Jesus loves us and wants to spend time with us. Jesus really is the best friend we could ever have. Thank You that we can spend time with Jesus anywhere, like (say the place your kiddo said). I pray we will remember that wherever we are, we can stop and spend time with Jesus. We love You, God. In Jesus’ names, amen.”
