Opening Song: The Apostles' Creed
Story: Jesus the Teacher - Jesus Calling Bible Storybook Today, we are learning about who Jesus calls "blessed."
Lesson Video: Sermon on the Mount (Beatitudes)
Ask: Have any of you seen people who are homeless in our town? ... How do you feel when you see them? ... How would you feel if you had no food or home?
Say: Jesus shows us that we can love people who are sick or poor like He did! He loved the people that other people didn't want to love. Let's take a moment and think of some ways we can help people in our town who might need it!
Action for the Kids - Say: Ask your parents if you can bring some food to church next week to put in our food pantry (Pastor Dave gives this food to a place that helps people who have no food or home). By doing this, you can be part of loving others like Jesus did!
