Scripture Focus: Ephesians 2: 11-22
Preparations: Gather some Legos of all different
sizes and colors. You will also want one of the bases to build upon. You will
need enough to build a small structure.
Faith + Open: Gather the children to a spot where
they can sit around you to watch you build.
Faith+ Share: Say, “One of the things I love about building with Legos is that you can use
all different sizes and colors to make a cool building! All kinds of sizes are
needed as I try to make corners, window spaces, door spaces, the roof, etc. How
many of you build with legos or blocks of some kind? Do you have only one size
of block in your collection? (The answer will probably be “no.”) Right! It takes all kinds of blocks to make
this one structure. And it can take many people to help build a big lego
building. Can each of you add a piece to what I am building?
(While the children are building say) Well, today in our letter from Paul, Paul is
talking to some people in a place called Ephesus who were wondering what kind
of people God could use in the family of Christ. Paul tells them that God loves
and needs everyone! Every person no matter what size or shape is needed to
build the family of Christ! We all build upon each other and we all need each
other! When we work together we build up the family of God so that we can
learn, love and teach other people about God! And do you know who is our
foundation? Jesus! That’s right! Just as this base we are building our
structure on keeps the building solid, building on the love of Jesus in our
lives keeps us solid with our friends, family and neighbors! What a wonderful
thing!
Faith + Prayer: Dear God, thank you so much for
Jesus in our lives! Help us to work together to build a strong family of people
who love you. Amen
Faith + Blessing: May your eyes be opened to see
all the amazing works of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
BW
