2. Wonderfully made

Sermon

Let’s see what is in today’s treasure chest! Who wants to know? Remember we only open the treasure chest when everyone is sitting down quietly. Now let’s open the chest!

Take out some play dough. Today we are learning about how God made people. After he had made all the stars, and plants and animals, he took some clay and started to form something amazing. 

Start forming a person, and let the little ones guess what you are making. Talk about how God made Adam and Eve to look a little bit like him. 

Do you know that when God made Adam and Eve, he was already thinking about another amazing person he was going to make, I have a picture of that person here

Take a mirror out of the treasure chest, and let each child look, as you tell them, God made you so special! He made us all so different, but we can all do amazing things.  

Have the kids do these things with you to show how special their bodies are:

Clap your hands

Put your hands on your head

Blink your eyes

Wiggle your nose

Shake your legs

Sit on your bum

Crawl

Move your head

Sing

End with a time of prayer – say each child’s name, and let all the kids say, “Thank you Jesus for making ______ so special. Please bless _______.
