Big Idea: Jesus wants me to give..
Bible Basis: Mark 12:41-44
Key Verse: “We must remember (point fingers to the temples of your head) the words (cup hands around mouth) of the Lord Jesus (spread arms apart like a cross). He said, ‘It is more blessed (hug yourself) to give (extend hands like you’re giving) than to receive (fold arms across your chest with hands closed).’” Acts 20:35 (extend hands like you’re holding a book).
OPENING PRAYER
Lord, open now my heart to hear, And through your Word to me draw near. Let me your Word ever pure retain; Let me your child and heir remain. All this I ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
