SUNDAY 11 OCTOBER
Today’s Services:
Access our streamed services here.
We will be sharing Communion in the service today, so have some bread and wine/juice ready if you would like to partake.
Would you ever turn up to a dinner party you had not been invited to? The woman in Luke 7:36-50 did! Jesus used her actions to show that the faith of people who know they have made bad choices and done wrong things, but seek forgiveness, is greater than the faith of self-righteous people who think they don’t do anything that needs God’s forgiveness, and that the more we are forgiven, the more love we have to give.
As you read/listen to this passage, compare the uninvited woman’s actions to Simon the Pharisee’s words and actions. Which attitude do you think is the way that Jesus wants us to come to him?
Activity sheets, if needed, to keep hands busy while listening to Tim’s talk:
- Colouring 1, 2, 3, 4
- Crossword, Decoder, Fill the Blanks, Word Search
Another activity for during or post service …
- Trace around one of your feet and cut it out.
- Older kids can choose a verse from the passage that stood out to them to write on the cut-out. Younger kids may wish to write a couple of words that stood out to them, e.g. Forgiveness, Love.
- Spray a little perfume on the cut-out or use a drop of essential oil – something flowery, like lavender, would be perfect.
- Stick the cut-out up in your room to remind you of today’s lesson.
