Starlight Satation: Lesson 5

Servant Leaders Work hard to Help Others:

Bible VerseEcclesiastes 9:10

Hard and Easy:parents, assign each child in your family a very specific task. It might something like picking up pillows and putting them back on the couch or folding the laundry. For the first few seconds tell them to work really hard at it and then tell them to slow down and do it very easy, almost in slow motion. Go back and forth between hard and easy as they are performing the task. After they have finally completed the task, ask them if it was better to do the task head or easy. Talk about how much faster they could have finished the project if they could have finished the project if they could have worked hard all the time. Just like in this project, God wants us to work hard to help others in everything we do.

Bible Story:Genesis 39:2-6, 39:21-23 and 41: 37-57

Helping Out:Talk about how important it is for us to work hard to help others. One way to live that out is to find a project at church that everyone could participate in. It may be helping to set up for an event, cleaning up after services one weekend, or simply picking up trash around the church campus. While you are doing the project discuss with your kids how you are obeying God by working hard to help other people.
