Unit Memory Verse: Luke 10:27 And he answered, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself. ABC Verse: 1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient. Love is kind. Story Snap Shot The issue is not we don t want to help anyone. The dilemma is who we give to and how far we need to go? In our story this morning, Jesus is having a conversation with a lawyer who desires some clarification on what is loving his neighbor. However, love is really is not his question. This man was to show himself as loving and righteous by performing the law. Jesus lets him prove his own point by showing that religious trappings do not make people more loving. Love is doing the hard work of being a good neighbor to all people verses a self-serving life that wants to be justified. Write kids names on board with total attendance! 1 P a g e

What are we learning? (use the catch phrase.end in prayer) Prayer Time Before you pray, allow the kids time to share with you things that are happening in their lives. Be sure you write these down with their names for you to pray for as the week goes along. Ask individuals about how things went with the things they mentioned the previous week. Older kids can be asked if they will pray for another who mentions something. As the leader, begin by opening in prayer and thanking God for this lesson: Praise Jesus for coming to save us even though we were His enemies. Ask God to give us compassionate hearts like His so that we can help everyone around us as He has helped us. Pray for any specific requests named either by praying yourself or by opening it up to those who said they would pray. Suggested Follow-up Activities Teachers are free to choose the activities that they feel are best for their group. The idea is that as the children work and play, remind them of the truths they just learned. Scripture Memory: Figure out your reward system for memorizing the Scriptures provided in this section. Give the children several opportunities to tell it to you in class. Play a memory game with the kids if you have time. 3 P a g e

Give each child a copy of the craft page and have them color it as you review the story. Give each of them a small band-aid and tell them to put it on the hurt man. Next, give them a small piece of cloth and have them glue just the bottom edge of it so that they can lay it over the man. You could also give them a cotton ball and have them glue it on the page as a cushion for the man s head.
