14th June Wise and foolish builders

  Today we are going to listen to a story that Jesus told to His friends.  Jesus liked stories.  Do you like stories?  Which is your favourite?  

This is a story about two people who were builders.  Lets listen to what Jesus has to say

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6S3cRVLMFQ&t=8s

This is what happened to the people who built their houses.

One man built his house on a rock ( get some lego already made into a house shape and place it on a brick or large stone on a tray.)  One man built his house on the sand ( put another lego house on a pile of sand on the tray)   When it rained lots and was stormy look what happened.  Pour water into the tray and watch the pile of sand disappear and the house float.  Oh dear.  How do you think this man felt about his house being ruined?  Sad yes and may be a bit cross that he hadnt done a good job of building his house.

Jesus wasnt just talking about building houses He was telling people that He is like the rock.  He is strong and steady and He cant be blown over in a storm or washed away in a flood.  If we build our lives with Jesus He will always keep us safe.  Even if storms come and difficult things happen.  

Craft

Make a rain shaker.  

Materials needed: Cardboard rolls Beans or rice Rubber band Paper Preparation: Collect the cardboard rolls. Cut pieces of paper large enough to cover the ends of the tubes. For Babies and Toddlers: Cover one end of the cardboard tube with paper and a rubber band. Give the child a bowl with rice or beans. Ask them to put a few handfuls into the tube. Cover the other end with paper and a rubber band so that the tube is closed. Toddlers may also design their cardboard rolls. When done, turn it upside down slowly and hear the trickle of rain inside the cardboard rolls.

Lets sing a happy song to Jesus  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LylgwOEI7AY&t=2s Ive got that joy joy....use instruments. Lesson How do you think Jesus's friends felt when they found out He was alive again?  They were super happy (show me your happy face)  they were really excited ( show me what you do when you are excited).   All Jesus's friends saw Him and talked to Him except for one friend called Thomas.  Thomas was away somewhere when Jesus came back to life and so He didnt get to see Him, He just heard all the other people talking about how they had seen Jesus and that He w...

 ) talk time -  what did we do this week 2)   Before EASTER we were learning about Jesus.  We learned that He came as a baby,  He had a family and He went to school and grew up just like we do.  We learned that Jesus came to show us what God is like.  As a grown up Jesus did lots of wonderful things.  He looked after people and was kind.  He made sick people better and even made dead people come alive again.   Today we are going to look at one of the things Jesus said.  He said some very interesting things which are important. Who knows what this is.  ( Show picture of shepherd)  Talk about the things a shepherd does.    1) He looks after the sheep and takes them to wherever there is good grass to eat and where there is water.  he finds them a safe place to sleep at night and keeps watch while they rest 2) He helps the mother sheep when they are giving birth 3) He looks after any sick sheep and hel...

Lesson time    Over the last few weeks we have been learning about Jesus.  Today we are going to hear something He said.  Jesus said that He is light.  Can you point to the light in this room?  Is the light on or off?...
