Picnicking with Jesus-the Sermon on the Mount

 Story

Our story is being told by All Saints Hallelujah Puppets Team, Allesley. The reading is in Matthew 5:1-16.

I wonder how the crowd felt hearing such a radical message from Jesus? ​I wonder if there has been a time when you have done the right thing, even though it was not what your friends wanted to do?   Jesus had a message of love. The Sermon on the Mount explains how God loves us and how we can show His love through our words and actions towards others. The Beatitudes are radical! They provide a list of all the things Jesus says are blessed and they are so often the opposite of what society thinks are the important things. We are called to be different! Like salt and light in the world. 
Activity
Jesus told us to be lights in the world, which means to shine out with love. Nicky is showing us how to make lights, so we can put them somewhere to remember to be a light for Jesus.

Sunday March 29th - Sunday Club - The Raising of Lazarus

RESOURCES You will need one 'parcel' with nothing inside it for the 'PASS THE PARCEL' game. Normally, to make the 'parcel' a prize is wrapped in several layers of wrapping paper of fabric. Each layer wrapped as if you were wrapping a gift. If possible, use a different fabric or paper for each layer so you can see the different layers when each one is unwrapped. This time, do not pu a prize inside and use only a few layers, perhaps 2-3. a Gingerbread person or some form of biscuit, a bit of icing and, if possible, 'red shoe laces' to wrap around a happy and a sad face to hold up.
