Greet new members and introduce them to
the class and the Critters.
Open the class with a prayer.
- Read the Bible Verse for the day!
The Bible Says:
"Come, follow me, "Jesus said. "I
will make you fishers of people." Matthew 4:19
- Objective:
- Encourage the children to talk about the
love of Jesus.. We are to follow Him and become "fishers
of people," for Jesus. He gives a New Forever Life in heaven
to those who ask Him to live in their hearts. We can pray for
other people and God's Holy Spirit will help them come to know
Him.
-
- (Speak with the children)
- You can have a New Life when you know Jesus
Christ. If you ask Jesus to live in your heart, forgive you of
your sins, and show you how to live, you can pray to Him. You
can learn more about God everyday! Do you know Jesus? If you
do, God sent someone 'Fishing' for YOU! They 'Cast Out a Line'
by telling you about Jesus.
-
- (Teach the children)
- The Bible says Jesus is, The Way, The Truth
and The Life and no one can know God the Father unless they know
Jesus as their best friend and boss of their life. It also says,
no one can know Jesus unless God the Father shows them the way.
He wants you to help Him by 'Casting Out a Line' of love to someone
and telling them about Jesus. Jesus is our greatest gift and
God wants us to share Him with others.

New Life - Casting Out the Line
Joshua Jackrabbit is fishing in the
Kid Cave forest pond. He is ice fishing! He wants to catch something
wonderful. Will he catch a big fish? Joshua doesn't know what
he might catch. He is just happy he can fish today and he will
keep on "Casting Out the Line!"
- (closing)
-
- When we tell others about Jesus and the New
Life only He can give, will they listen? We can hope and pray
they will come to know Jesus as their Savior and Lord. The Holy
Spirit knows what we are praying for and He will help. He will
guide them to God. Then Jesus will say that we are "Fishers
of People."
Worship God with music.
Activities:
Use crafts, games, puzzles, hidden pictures,
word search, mazes, and books to further emphasize the current
weeks' teachings.
I used this craft idea from Enchanted
Learning to make a butterfly coloring book for each child.
Repeat today's Bible verse.
Pass out the coloring pages.
Explain the daily devotions! Encourage the Kids to show these to their parents
and get help as they continue to learn how God takes care of
them through the week.
