2 practice it. Are you ready to do it with me? (Pause.) Let s do it! Show me the right path (hands up like goggles), O LORD (point up); point out the road (point out and down) for me to follow (march), Psalm 25:4. (Hold out hands like a book.) Let s do it again. CHILDREN and WORSHIP LEADER: Show me the right path (hands up like goggles), O LORD (point up); point out the road (point out and down) for me to follow (march), Psalm 25:4. (Hold out hands like a book.) (Repeat several times.) WORSHIP LEADER: Way to go! God gave us the Bible to show us the path to follow. He has a plan for us. Hey, let s sing about that! Who remembers the song from last month? Let s go! SFX: Plan for Me I love singing about our God who loves us so much. He has a plan for us, and He gave us the Bible so we would know which way to go. What tells you which way to go? 9:22/11:22/4:52/6:52 9:37/11:22 Introductory Sketch (Host enters wheeling the trike, bike, or scooter out and carrying the basket. He attaches the basket to it.) HOST: Let s see. This goes here... and this goes there. That... should... do it! (Stand up and dust your hands off. Look very proud of yourself.) Hey, friends! [Host s name] here. And I have something super cool to show you! Are you ready? (Stand to the side of the basket and hold hands out.) TA-DA! This is my new basket, and it just made my trike WAY more awesome. Give me two thumbs up (hold two thumbs up) if you like it. Wow! Thanks! I like it too. Just think of all the cool things I can do now. I can... hmm... oh! I got it! I can deliver the newspaper to my 2

3 neighbors. I can see me riding through my neighborhood throwing papers by every front door. (Pretend to ride a bike while throwing papers, and lose your balance.) Riding a bike while throwing papers is kind of tricky. I better think of something else I can do. Wait! I know how I could use my basket! I could hand out popsicles! I could ride around yelling, Get your popsicles! Get your popsicles! But there are a lot of kids in my neighborhood. Maybe I should get a lot of popsicles before I use my basket to sell them. I m not sure really sure what to do with my new basket. I need some help... help. That s it: help. I can HELP people! I can help people with my basket! I just saw a lady unloading some stuff from her car to bring into the church. I can go help her right now and carry it for her in my basket. This is going to be awesome! I gotta scoot, friends, so you get ready for a Bible story. See ya later! Bye! (Host exits on trike.) 9:22/11:22/4:52/6:52 9:37/11:22 Bible Story (Storyteller walks out with a Bible and basket of props. Smile while looking back at where the Host just exited.) STORYTELLER: Wow! [Host s name] is really excited about helping with his basket! You know, helping others is a great way to show love for people. (Hold up the Bible.) This book tells us that God wants us to love people. Can you tell me what book this is? (Pause for response.) You got it! This is the Bible! And we have a picture of a heart 3

4 right here to remind us that the Bible tells us God wants us to love people. (Point to the heart symbol.) The Bible is special because it is has God s words in it and it is always, always, ALWAYS true! We can trust what the Bible says when it tells us what to do and shows us the way to go. One of my favorite parts of the Bible is where it tells us to love one another. Does that mean God wants us to love... (Put on the gray wig and glasses.)... people who are older than us? (Pause.) Yes! Okay, what about... (Take off the wig and glasses and hold up the ABC strip.)... our teachers? (Pause.) You bet! (Put down the ABC strip and put on the police officer hat.) What about police officers? Does God want us to love them too? (Pause.) Yes! Of course He does! When God says to love one another He means for us to love all people. But what about kids who are mean to us? (Pause.) Yes, even the mean kids. What about our little brothers when they take break our favorite toy? (Pause.) Yes, even our little brothers when they break our favorite toy. God wants us to love others the same way He loves us, and that s A LOT! That means we should take care of one another and help each other out. It means sharing with each other and thinking of ways we can be a good friend. Let s think of more ways we can love people. We can share our toys when a friend comes to play. We can ask our dad if we can help him rake the leaves. If someone is sick, we can draw a picture to make them feel better. If it s someone s birthday, we can give them a gift. If someone is sad, we can sing them a song. There are lots of ways to love people. The Bible tells us to love one another. 4

STORYTELLER: One more time! What tells you which way to go? CHILDREN and STORYTELLER: [Bottom Line] The Bible tells me which way to go. STORYTELLER: That s the truth, friends! You better believe it! Let s close our eyes and pray. Prayer STORYTELLER: Dear God, please help us look for ways to do what You tell us to do and show all people that we love them. Help us to do things like share, smile, give hugs, say sweet words, and just be a good friend. We want to love others the way You love us. Thank You for a place where we can learn about You with our friends. We love You, God. In Jesus name, amen. Bye, friends! Have fun in your small groups. I ll see you next time!
