wedding at Cana

Watch the Saddleback kids version of the story here   video

Ask the child what a miracle is. Explain that a miracle is something that is not explainable by normal means, but happens through intervention from God. Talk about how Jesus made wine from water. Ask if this was a miracle or not? You may choose to list some things and ask if they would be a miracle.

Get a clear pitcher and fill it with water. Ask the child if they think you can make it into juice. You may have fun with this and ask the child if talking to it or singing to it will make the water become juice. Next, pull out a juice mix, add, and stir. Talk about how you are making juice by using a juice mix. Ask the child if that is a miracle. Point out that it is not. Then ask if Jesus making the water into wine was a miracle. Point out that Jesus didn’t use juice mix or anything else, but He still created wine.

Talk about trust. Explain that trust is when we rely on someone. Talk about times that your child needs to trust you, such as keeping them safe while crossing the street. Point out that Mary trusted Jesus to fix the problem. Remind the child that we, too, have a problem that we need Jesus to fix. Point out that as sinners, we need a Savior and Jesus is the Savior. Remind the child that God loves them and cares for them. Share how we can bring all our worries and cares to Jesus and trust Him.

Point out that we can always trust Jesus to do the best thing.  He didn’t just make wine; He made the best wine. Place some items or pictures of items and ask your child to pick out what would be good, better, and the best. For example, some food, toys or activities. Offer three options and ask them to put them in order.

Pray and thank Jesus for coming to save sinners. Ask Him to help you trust Him.

 ) 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.
