Bible Story:
John 1:35-51
Helpers and Friends:
Jesus knew that he had much work to do. He wanted to have some good friends who could help him. One day Jesus was walking along the Sea of Galilee. He saw two boats there. Peter and Andrew were fishing from one boat. James and John were mending a net in the other boat. Jesus called to them,"Come and follow me." They did.
Later Jesus passed by a tax office. There was a man there named Matthew. Matthew's job was to collect the taxes, the money the people paid to the king. Jesus looked at Matthew. "Follow me," Jesus said. Matthew got up and followed Jesus.
Jesus asked twelve men to be his helpers. Besides Peter, Andrew, James, John and Matthew, he called Phillip, Bartholomew, Thomas another man named James, Simon, Thaddaeus and Judas.
To apply this story to our daily life, I began the discussion with how we can be helpers at home and at school. Truly, the children understand the concept of being a helper. We also discussed ways we can show God's love. They offered several good ideas. As Christians we need to be disciples and tell others the Good News.

A poster showing a scene from the Bible story.
In this book Sam and his mom make treats for the neighbors. At first Sam is timid about delivering them. As each delivery is made, he becomes more confident. This story is loosely related to each of us as we share God's love with others.
Sometimes it's hard to share. This book addressed this feeling and gave us ideas on how to share and just how rewarding it can be.
Naming items that are pink and how they are used in our daily lives.
This activity gave us something to discuss during snack time.
