Read the Story from the Bible together as a family.
After you have read it, watch the Bible Story Video shown during the Sunday Kids Service. Questions will include conversations about the Bible story to allow you and your children to reflect on the biblical truth and share your thoughts about the video with each other.
Included are coloring pages, activity sheets, games, additional questions and ideas to engage with the Bible story further at home with your child.
Make Time for Jesus
WHAT YOU NEED: No Supplies needed
WHAT YOU DO: Invite children to pretend they are doing chores, such as dusting, wiping, and cleaning, around the room. Randomly call out “FREEZE!” When everyone freezes, say, “Let’s pray to Jesus!” Have children fold their hands if they can, close their eyes (if they want to), and say a short prayer together. Repeat several times.
WHAT YOU SAY: “Friends, today we learned that Jesus wants us to spend time with Him, because He loves us. Let’s find out what keeps us busy. Even though we get busy, the most important thing is to make room for Jesus. In our Bible Story, when Martha got upset that Mary wasn’t helping, Jesus told Martha that spending time WITH Him was more important than doing things for Him. Jesus loved Martha and wanted her to spend time with Him. Jesus wants us to spend time with Him too, because Jesus loves you and Jesus loves me. Who loves you? Jesus loves me.”
