Week 12- No Worries About Tomorrow (Matt 6:25-34)
Out lesson this week is a powerful reminder that we don't have to worry about tomorrow, for God is already there. As the first signs of spring begin making their way into our neighborhood, I know that baby birds will be chirping their morning wake up calls soon.
I'll give the kids brown paper to cut into small pieces to look like tiny branches while I read.
Verse 25 starts us out: "Don't worry about your life, what you'll eat or drink, or what you're going to wear. Look at the birds of the air. They do not farm and store food up, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. You are more valuable than birds. Worrying will not make your life longer.
And why do you worry about clothes? Flowers do not work hard on choosing their outfits. If God clothes the flowers, which only last a short time, won't he clothe you much more? You have little faith if you worry. Do not worry about things in this world, for the pagans run after these things. Your heavenly Father knows that you need food and clothing, but if you first seek God, then He will give you food and clothing. So do not worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
To make a gentle bird's nest reminder, give each kiddo a paper plate to cut in half, then we'll pass the staplers around to staple the rim (front pieces facing each other). Leave the top of the nest open. Write each students' name on the back of the paper plate.
Then glue the brown "branches" onto the front of the paper plates to look like a nest using white glue.
Next I'll let the kids pick out 3 pom-poms to be the birds, and they can glue them onto popsicle sticks. We'll add a small triangle of paper for the beaks and two wiggly eyes.
This will take some time to dry, so we'll set the crafts aside on a table to collect next week. I'll let them color this verse sheet I created using Scrappin Doodles clipart during the remainder of the lesson.
