Aim: To learn that great things can happen when God’s people work together

Bible Passage: 1 Kings 6

Weekly Question: How can we help do God’s work today?

We can be kind, share and build God’s big family together

Together we can build God’s special work. It’s not just about money, we can help God by being kind, helping others, sharing, and doing what God asks us to do.” Today we are going to see what happened when the people helped Solomon.

We are introducing a weekly question to help the children to fully understand certain concepts. Our weekly question for this week is “How can we help do God’s work today?”

And today we want the children to grasp the truth that ‘We can be kind, share and build God’s big family together’

Questions & Thoughts

For Mother’s Day – Take some scrap paper and practice writing down some ideas for words you could use in your “MOTHER” poem to describe your Mum or a Mother figure in your life. Once you have practiced and decided on the words, you can then put these onto the printout with MOTHER written down the middle.

Once you have got all your words, you can complete the My Mum printout. You can stick your A5 poem onto the back of this. Then take a minute to answer as many questions as you can.

Share out some refreshments and enjoy eating and drinking together. Start to talk about the Bible story using these questions:

    • What is your favourite part of the story? Why?

    • What is important about this story? Why?

    • What does the temple show us about how important God is?

    • Why do you think Solomon wanted everything to be the very best for God?

    • What is a special place where you feel close to God?

    How can we help do God’s work today?

Encounter & Memory Verse

“We work together because we belong to God’s big family.” Romans 12:5

Go through this memory verse a few times altogether. Write the words down on separate pieces of scrap paper. Muddle these up and take it in turns from memory to put them in the right order. You can repeat this as many times as you are able. Who can do this quickest?

Using the inspiring words from your MOTHER poems, pray together and thank God for our Mums and Mother figures and all that they do for us. Ask God to bless the Mums, encourage everyone pray out loud.

Finally, recap the weekly question:

How can we help do God’s work today?

We can be kind, share and build God’s big family together.

Challenge each other this week to ask God how you can help with His work.
