Lesson - Week Two

Blessed are those who Mourn

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Mourning is when we're really sad. Maybe you've cried because you got hurt or someone you knew died but this is different than that This is being very upset about those people that haven't heard about God or even about the sin in your life. You might not think about these things very much yet but as you get closer to God this will bother you and that's okay. God promises to comfort us when we need it.

Bee True... to the dreams God's given YOU

Jesus, the key to our lives, we can't make it very far. But when we are poor in spirit, when we realize we need Jesus and when we let him drive our lives, we can go anywhere!

End in prayer.

CRAFT: Bumblebee Squishy Toy

Have each child pour about 1/3 cup of flour into the corner of a fold top sandwich baggie. (Can use a little more or less, depending on the size of the child's hands and the size of the balloons.) Twist the bag and fold it over itself to make sure the flour is completely contained. Make sure there is no air in the baggie. Cut the neck off of two yellow balloons. Have one friend hold open the balloon and while another friend puts the flour bag in the balloon. Hold open another balloon and shove the balloon with the flour bag in it into the second balloon so that the flour bag goes in first and is not exposed. Now you have a squishy, stress ball type toy! Use black permanent markers to make the squishy toy look like a bumblebee. Tell the children that this toy can help them remember to have BEE ATTITUDES instead of ME ATTITUDES.
