8 Sample Scripts for Emcees Intro Konnection 1 Point Konnection 3 Worship Konnection 5 All right! I m ready for a fantastic time with you kids! My name s and I m your emcee! Today, we re gonna talk about the Bible! Everybody say, Read the Bible! with me! (Together with kids) Read the Bible! Aw, c mon you can say it louder! (Kids shout out) Read the Bible! Whoa! My ears are hurting now! Listen up as my best robotic friend, Nitro, shares the rules with all of us! God gives us so much, and we re so blessed we get to give some of it back to Him! This week s Point is, Eat God s Word every day. Are you ready to say it with me? Okay, let s do it! (Together with kids) Eat God s Word every day. Nice! Now get ready to see who discovers the Point on Konnect Station! All of you found a lot of Bible Plans that will help you read God s Word, every day! Let s see. Which Small Group can say, Bible! the loudest? Let me hear you! (Kids shout out) Bible! Oh, I think name a Small Group was the loudest! Now look on the screen to focus on worshipping God! Giving Konnection 2 Verse Konnection 4 Life Konnection 6 Great! You all listened to Nitro really well! And some of you might even get a reward for making great choices today: a Dot sticker! Your Small Group Leader will be watching to see who they can pass out Dot stickers to this week! Those Dots are worth some serious points at the Konnect Window. Now I ll pick two friends to pick up our offering while the rest of us watch the offering video. Let s find out why we give money to God. (Choose helpers.) I m glad Mike remembered he needs God s Bible EVERY day, just as much as he needs his sandwiches every day! Let s say our Bible verse about that together. (Say in rhythm with kids) Matthew 4:4 But Jesus told him, People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Great job! Now, let s search for some Bible Plans we can all read in our Small Groups. In the Bible, God gives us a lot of examples of the blessings He has for us. But without Jesus, we can t even see them! Let your Small Group Leader know if you re ready to ADMIT your sin, BELIEVE Jesus died for you, and CHOOSE to depend on God s power to help you say, No! to sin! Once you start following God, you need His Word to keep growing for Him. That s why we read the Bible, every day! It s our spirit s food! Talk about that with your Small Groups.
