Calling All Kiddos in our Faith Finder families and their friends! We are not able to meet together for awhile. We miss each one of you! We are glad there are things we can do in our families to stay close to God and remember each other.
(Note to parents and caretakers: We are telling this story as part of our usual Faith Finders Sunday morning. You can find more activities and fun stuff to do with your family in your e-mail from Faith Finders.
Your Faith Finder Teachers send stay well greetings and prayers to all families!
Share a story about Jesus: John 13:1-17, you can read it in your Bible or with someone in your family. Maybe you can find it in a children’s Bible, too.
When you are finished reading it, you might want to act it out. Who in your family can play a part? What props will you need?
The story goes like this: Jesus and his disciples were eating their evening meal together. Jesus knew that Judas was going to betray him, but Jesus also knew that he belonged to God and would always be with God.
Jesus got up and took a towel, poured water into a washbowl, and began to wash his friends’ feet and dried them with the towel. Simon Peter was upset that Jesus would wash his feet. (That was something a servant usually did) He didn’t want Jesus to wash his feet. Jesus wanted Peter to know that it was important for him to wash Peter’s feet, too. Jesus wanted all of the disciples to understand that Jesus was their leader but he was not too important to do things to serve and help others. Jesus wants us to know that, too.
Did you act out the story? What do you think Jesus said? What do you think Peter and the other disciples said? Do you think they were surprised that Jesus wanted to wash their feet?
For us, it is not so important that we wash our feet, but it is important that we wash our hands. Can you show someone in your family the best way to make sure our hands are clean? Jesus wants us to have clean hearts, too. No matter what, we can trust Jesus. Jesus can always help us know what we can do to love and serve each other.
Bible Verse to remember: “If I your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you too must wash each other’s feet.” John 13:14
