- SAY: “Today we heard a story about Jesus and His friends, the disciples, having breakfast on the beach! Let’s make a frying pan to cook up some fish. Turn your plate over and glue your craft stick to the back of your plate. (Pause.) Add some tape to help it stick to the plate. (Pause.) Great! Flip it back over and glue some fish to your plate. (Pause.) Now let’s add the Bible Verse to your stick. Look at that! You’re ready to fry fish for breakfast on the beach! In our Bible story, when Jesus came back, He went to see His friends so He could spend time with them. The friends were out in the boat fishing when they saw Jesus standing on the shore. They were so excited to see Jesus that one of them jumped out of the boat and swam to shore! When all of the friends got to shore, Jesus was cooking breakfast for them. They all sat together, ate breakfast, and spent time together. Jesus loved His friends so much and wanted to show them that He would always be their friend, forever and ever. Jesus loves you and wants to be your friend forever, too! Who wants to be your friend forever? [Bottom Line] Jesus wants to be my friend forever.””
- Drive Time
- As you drive or take a walk, talk about how Jesus did special things for His friends, the disciples, like make them breakfast on a beach. Next, talk about things you both can do to be a good friend. Jesus wants to be our friend forever and He wants us to be a good friend, too.
