Love, Mission Kids
This Sunday, we’re discovering…
Main Point: I can love like Jesus
Bible Story: Love One Another - John 13:34-35
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
Love each other (hug yourself)
as I (point up)
have loved you (thumbs toward self)
John 15:12 (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 was the first person in the story Jesus helped? (a man that couldn’t walk)
What did Jesus do when He was teaching and the people got hungry? (He shared the food with them)
What did Jesus do when He saw people saying mean words about a woman? (He loved her and was kind to her)
What are some ways we can help others?
What are some ways we can share with others?
What are some kind words we can say to others?
Who can love like Jesus? I can love like Jesus!
Pray Together
Before you pray, make a list of ways you can help others. Then pray together using the one below or your own.
“Dear God, Jesus is the best friend anyone will ever have. He really wants to help, share, and say kind words to everyone in the whole, wide world! That is real love! And, we want to love like Jesus, So God, will You please help us to (read the list you made) so people everywhere will know that we love them the way Jesus loves us? We love you, God. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
MAKE IT // ART ACTIVITY
What you need: Activity Page (view/print below or grab from your March Church Kit) and crayons or markers.
What you do:
Have your kiddo write their name on the line in the heart, and then color the page.
Jesus loves everyone, and we can love everyone because we can love like Jesus!
MOVE IT // ACTIVE ACTIVITY
What you need: Stop Signs (in your church kit, or print or make your own).
What you do:
Use whatever materials you have to make a “race track” either in your living room or outside.
Place your stop signs in random places on your track.
Race around your track and when you come to a stop sign say the verse of the month:
“Love each other (hug yourself) as I (point up) have loved you. (point thumbs to chest) John 15:12 (open hands like a book)”
YOU DID IT!
Continue the conversation all week by reminding each other of all the ways Jesus shows that he loves us!
