Together
Opening Prayer : Start with a prayer to God asking Him to help

Memory Verse
So we, being many, are one body in Christ,
and every one members one of another. - Romans 12:5
Today's Bible Reading Passage.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body,
whether we be Jews or Gentiles, ] whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
1 Corinthians 12

1. Examine the string you were given . Is it one piece or something
made up of two or three pieces
2. Do you think it is stronger because of the many pieces that are woven together as one ?
3. What message is told in the above passage
about us being joined together ?
Suggested Lesson Activity :
RIght now have everyone tie their string to the person's string sitting next to them.
How long is the string now ?
Is it long enough to make a circle around a small group of children ?
Aren't we as a group stronger because
of the support we give to one another and because of how
many of us are joined together and working
for the same cause ?
It is a blessing to be part of the Body of Christ and it is God who joins us together to help others learn about Jesus Christ .
He has given each of us different talents that we use to
witness for the kingdom of God. Some of us sing.
Some of us write . Some are teachers .
Take some time out right now to talk about some of the gifts
God has given to each of you that helps you to
witness to others for Jesus.
