Obedience
Opening song: “Do as I’m Doing” Children’s Songbook pg 276
Opening prayer:
Scripture: Ephesians 6:1 “Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.”
Lesson: For our lesson we broke up the scripture and explained each part. Who are children? What does it mean to obey? Who are the parents?……We explained that mommy and daddy aren’t going to ask them to do anything naughty, and that when we ask them to do something it is for their safety and their happiness. We also explained what happens when everyone obeys-mommy is happier, and doesn’t yell, which means that they are happier as well. But when they don’t listen mommy gets really mad really fast then nobody is happy….
Activity: We had the kids ‘practice’ obeying by playing “Mommy says” (kind of like Simon says).
