Song: My God is so Big! What a Mighty God we Serve, God is so good

Verse: Psalm 100:4 Explain meaning. Say the verse. Have kids recognize clipart pictures to go with words. Say the verse. Place pictures over words.

Object lesson:Have an older child help.Act it out: being ungrateful for the Savior's sacrifice or refusing to accept the love of the Savior or his forgiveness in our lives is like if you spent months choosing the perfect birthday gift for person you love the most. You had sold everything you owned to purchase this special gift. Then, when it came time to give the gift, which you had wrapped in the most costly and beautiful wrapping you could find, the receiver simply looked at your package and said, "no thanks" without even opening it. The thought of how that would feel reminds me everyday to thank my Heavenly Father for the sacrifice of the Savior and recognize His hand in all the blessing I receive in this life and the blessings I will receive in the life to come.

Bible Story: Jesus Heals the Lepers
|
Questions about the Bible story: If they answer they get to come up and glue something they are thankful for onto the mural poster (Things we are thankful for: I used cutouts from magazines & printouts like parents, food, home, etc)
If needed, use points system (I use gift bags with clothespins. Child chooses a clothespin which has points on it out of the gift bag.)
If time, read the story of Harriet Tubman p. 23 in the book Growing Together in Gratitude by Barbara Rainey |
