Jesus meets the children

Hi everyone and welcome back to Christchurch Kids. We hope you've had a great week in school. Have you been playing in the sunshine? It's been lovely to be outside. 

This week, Jo from The Little Worship Company has another story from the Bible for us to listen to. I wonder what she has in her story bag this week?

Talk Time

The stories in the Bible point us towards God. They tell us so many things. Now you have heard the story about Jesus meeting the children, have a chat to your family and see what you all think about it.

Here are some questions you can talk about...

How did Ben and Abi's family feel when they heard Jesus was coming to their town?

How did Ben feel when Peter and Andrew told him to stay away?

What did Peter and Andrew think about what Jesus said about children?

What did Jesus tell Ben?

Have you had a day when you felt how much God loves you?

This story tells us that we are never too small to be known and loved by God. In the Psalms, it tells us that God knew us even before we were born. Even the tiniest baby is already known and loved by God. 

I praise you because you made me in an amazing and wonderful way.
    What you have done is wonderful.
    I know this very well.
 You saw my bones being formed
    as I took shape in my mother’s body.
When I was put together there,

    you saw my body as it was formed.
All the days planned for me
    were written in your book
    before I was one day old.

Psalm 139 : 14-16

Prayer

Today we've been thinking about those children who were so excited to see Jesus that they pushed their way through the crowds. What do you think they wanted to tell Jesus when they saw him? Imagine you were there in the crowd. What do you want to tell Jesus? We can talk to him anytime. 

Take a moment to be still and quiet.

You can talk to Jesus in your head or out loud.

You can talk to him about what you thought about the story. 

Thank you Jesus that you love us all, no matter how big or small we are.

Amen

 

We have a great song today all about our story and what is what like waiting to see Jesus. We hope you enjoy joining in.

We hope you have enjoyed listening to the story today and talking about it with your family.
