2 Sample Scripts for Emcees Hi, kids! Welcome to Konnect! I m so glad you re here! My name s, and I m your emcee! Don t forget it! Guess what? There s someone else s name you need to know. Your Small Group Leader s! Make sure you know their name and that they know yours. (Kids check small group leader s name) Let s see how many of you remember my name. Shout it out! (Kids shout out your name.) Great job, guys! Now, let s watch a quick rules video so we can have the most awesome time! It s so great to be able to give to God! Let s learn today s point. It says, God is bigger and stronger than any problem. Repeat it after me loud and proud! God is bigger and stronger (Kids repeat) God is bigger and stronger than any problem. (Kids repeat) than any problem. Super! I wonder what the Konnect crew will learn about that Point. Ewww! Those worms were kind of gross and kind of cute! They really helped me think about how much God understands. I mean, He made the entire universe! You know, I m thinking of someone in this room who helps you remember how great God is, every single week: your Small Group Leader! Shout out their name! (Kids should out their Small Group Leader s name.) Great job! Now, get ready to worship God with your loudest praise voice! So, we ve only got three rules. Not too bad, right? When you follow them and make choices that put others first, your small group leader might give you a Dot sticker! If you get a Dot, you can take it to the Konnect Window after we re finished to get points and earn awesome prizes! Okay! I ll choose a couple of friends to pick up the offering while we sit up straight and tall and learn what offering is all about. (Choose helpers.) Wow! It s hard to understand why God works one miracle and not another, but His way is greater than our way. No problem is ever too hard for Him. Our Bible verse reminds us of God s great power. Say it with me. (Do motions and say in rhythm with kids) Jeremiah 32:17 O Lord! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you! Great job! Now, we know God s way is definitely bigger than ours but let s see if our way is bigger than a worm s! It s very sad that the Konnect crew lost Dr. Emo. I m thankful Dr. Emo knew the ABCs of salvation that make us right with God. If you want Jesus to be your leader, too, tell your Small Group Leader today. Now, it s time to talk with our Small Groups. You can share how you feel about losing Dr. Emo and about how God is still great and powerful, even when we don t understand the way things turn out.
