Seeds of Faith

Pile of seeds

For Matthew 15–17; Mark 7–9

Story: Jesus taught that faith as small as a tiny mustard seed can do the impossible (see Matthew 17:20).

Song: “Faith” (Children’s Songbook, 96–97)

Activity: Find as many seeds as you can outside. Or look for pictures online. Think about what kinds of plants they might grow into. How can you grow your faith in Jesus Christ?

Love Your Neighborhood

For Matthew 18; Luke 10

Story: Jesus told us to take care of our neighbors (see Luke 10:25–37). Each person around us is our neighbor, even if they look or act differently than we do.

Song: “I’ll Walk with You” (Children’s Songbook, 140–41)

Activity: Draw a picture of your neighborhood. You can include your family, friends, and neighbors. Every day this week, pick a person from your drawing and do something kind for them.

The Good Shepherd

For John 7–10

Story: Shepherds take care of their sheep and keep them safe. Jesus Christ is our Shepherd. He said, “I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep” (John 10:14).

Song: “I Feel My Savior’s Love” (Children’s Songbook, 74–75)

Activity: Play a sheep guessing game! Pick one person to be the shepherd. Everyone else will be sheep. The shepherd closes their eyes while one sheep makes a baa sound. Have the shepherd guess which “sheep” made the noise. Talk about how Jesus knows each of us by name.
