Hello everyone and welcome to Sunday on Christchurch Kids.
Today we are looking at the Parable of the Two Builders. One was good at building a house but the other one didn't follow the instructions.
Parables are stories that Jesus told to tell us more about God and how we can follow him. What did the story of the Two Builders tell us?
The buildings in the story are like our faith in God.
If we take our time to listen and learn about God's word in the Bible and talk and listen to Him in prayer, then we are building up strong foundations just like the builder building a strong house. When things get tough then we have a firm base to help us and we will find it easier to rely on God.
Our colouring page today looks at a Bible verse from Ephesians that talks about our lives being built on God's love.
I pray that your life will be strong in love and built on love. And I pray that you will have the power to understand the greatness of Christ's love. I pray that you can understand how wide and how long and how high and how deep that love is.
Ephesians 3: 17-18

We have a Chat Mat too this week. These are great for colouring and chatting about!
You can download it here
You can have a go at building something yourself this week. How about making your own paper building blocks? The instructions can be found here I wonder how tall a tower you could build with them? Starting with a wide base for a foundation would help the tower grow taller.
You could have a go at retelling the story with Lego just like our video. There are great free apps around to help make short stop animation films, such as StopMotion Studio.
Prayer
Today we are going to use Lego to help us pray.
Find a Lego or Duplo brick.
Hold the brick in your hand and take a moment to be still and quiet. Pray for yourself. What would you like God to help you with this week.
Count the bumps on the brick. Pray for someone else for each of those bumps. Pray that God would help them this week.
Find a brick that is a different colour. Thank God that we are all made differently and we all have special things we are good at.
Find a brick that is the same shape. Thank God for our families and friends and those who look after us. Ask God to help us be friends to people who might be feeling lonely.
Use a few bricks to build a small tower. Thank God for our church and our community. Ask God to show us how we can include people in our community and help them feel loved.
Our Bible verse today talked about how wide, high, long and deep God's love is. Here's one of our favourite Sunday morning songs with high, wide and deep actions...
We hope you've had lots of fun building today. We would love to see some of your building projects or animations. You can send pictures in using the instructions in the right hand column. We hope you have a fun half term and we will be back on Wiggle Wednesday.
