Bet you can’t sing this without bouncing round the room!

We’re looking this week at a story Jesus told about being ready. You can watch it here:

The Parable of the Ten Young Women

25 “At that time the Kingdom of heaven will be like this. Once there were ten young women who took their oil lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. ²Five of them were foolish, and the other five were wise. ³The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any extra oil with them, ⁴while the wise ones took containers full of oil for their lamps. ⁵The bridegroom was late in coming, so they began to nod and fall asleep.

⁶“It was already midnight when the cry rang out, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come and meet him!’ ⁷The ten young women woke up and trimmed their lamps. ⁸Then the foolish ones said to the wise ones, ‘Let us have some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’ ⁹‘No, indeed,’ the wise ones answered, ‘there is not enough for you and for us. Go to the store and buy some for yourselves.’ ¹⁰So the foolish ones went off to buy some oil; and while they were gone, the bridegroom arrived. The five who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was closed.

¹¹“Later the others arrived. ‘Sir, sir! Let us in!’ they cried out. ¹²‘Certainly not! I don't know you,’ the bridegroom answered.”

¹³And Jesus concluded, “Watch out, then, because you do not know the day or the hour.

Jesus tells us he will come back at the end of all time but we don’t know when that will be. So he tells us to “Be Ready!”

So it’s about reminding us to follow Jesus now- and not things put off.

We might think- I’ll do that when I’m older

I’ll do that once COVID is over!

I don’t feel like following Jesus now

Jesus asks us to follow him now!

To help us remember the story here are some activities:

There is a template to make you own lamps from a paper plate.

Prayer: You might want to light as candle and watch it as you prayer…

Dear God

Thank you that you’re always there for us- never late or too busy.

Please us be ready to follow Jesus without any excuses!

Amen

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. You can print and cutout the faces below or draw your own a small box with a lid a piece of paper with Jesus written on it paper and pens SUNDAY CLUB ACTIVITIES The Raising of Lazarus Game...
