7- Singing Time Idea: Come Follow Me (Graphic 8)
Print the fish. Color and cut. Write names of songs on the back of the fish. Hot glue a small washer at the mouth. Make a pole with a wooden dowel (you can get dowel and washers at a hardware store) and some string. Attach a magnet to the end. For singing time put the fish in a large bowl or pan. Tell the children when Jesus came he asked some men to come and follow him. He told them that He would make them fishers of men. Ask them if they know what that means. He wanted them to come and save men from the world. Today our prophets have told us that if we follow Jesus, we can have stronger families. Invite the children to come up and try to catch a fish. Have them read the song on the back and tell how following the words of the song can help to strengthen our families. When all the fish are caught remind them again of JesusΓÇÖ words ΓÇ£I will make you fishers of men.ΓÇ¥ Jesus cares about us today as much as He cared for the people in His time. He wants to save us from the world. If we will follow Him we will be saved.
