Friends Forever

This weekend we are starting a new series called, “Friends Forever: a lesson on the love of Jesus” and will learn that Jesus loves us and wants to be our friend.

On board our yellow submarine, we will meet our turtle Dexter’s new best friend, Freddy the fish. It is so cool that they are best friends, but there is someone else who wants to be best friends with them too… Jesus! Dexter and Freddy can't understand why someone as important as Jesus would want to be friends with them, so we will tell them the story of Jesus and the children found in Mark 10:13-16.

One day a crowd of people came around Jesus. Jesus sat with them and talked with them and even healed some of them. Then, some people started bringing their children to Jesus. They wanted Jesus to pray for their children. The disciples told the children to go away because they thought Jesus was too busy for them, but Jesus stopped them. He wanted the children to come to Him. He told the disciples that they shouldn’t keep the children away.

The story helps Dexter and Freddy to learn that Jesus does want to be their best friend and we will learn that He wants to be ours too!

See you all this weekend!
