Note to the parents:

Help bring this story to life for your child by having them close their eyes and remember a time they were in a tight, crowded space. Encourage them to remember what that felt like as they experience this story.

Help your child recall the story by asking simple questions about what happened.

Examples:

• Why did the men want to help their friend? What did he need?
• What did they have to do to get their friend close to Jesus?
• What did Jesus do first, before healing their friend’s legs?

Together, think about what you have learned. Invite your child to ask you the question. Encourage them to add their thoughts or fill in a blank when prompted.

What do you want to say to God after reading this story? (Prayer)

Let's pray together.

God,

Thank You for caring about all of me—both my heart and my body.

Help me grow to love You and to love others by helping them.

(Name some ways you can help others.)

Amen.

Build anticipation for tomorrow:

I’m glad we get to spend time learning about Jesus together. Jesus liked to spend time with others, too. Tomorrow, we’ll learn about the very last meal He shared with His friends.
