Help the children
Children's sermon
Object:
a brochure for any agency that helps children (local or international)
Good morning! I want to ask you some questions this morning.
How many of you haven't eaten a meal in the last 24 hours? (Let
them answer.) Okay, next question. How many of you have no
clothes at all except what you are wearing right now? (Let them
answer.) Okay, now one final question. If you got sick, would
your parents be able to take you to a doctor to make you well?
(Let them answer.)
I asked you those questions because I want you to know that
in many parts of the world there are children just like you who
do not get a meal every day; who do not have any extra clothes
and who do not have any medical care. Do you think Jesus wants us
to care about those children? (Let them answer.) Yes, of course
he does. He once told his disciples that anyone who helped a
little child would be helping him. He certainly does care about
all the children in the world.
Here is a brochure that tells about one agency that helps
little children. (Show the brochure and tell them what the agency
does.) Do you think Jesus is happy that this organization is
helping children? (Let them answer.) I know he really is, and he
would like all of us to do whatever we can to help children.
Let's say a prayer now asking Jesus to show us how we can
also help children who need to be helped.
Dear Jesus: We know that you care about all the little children
in the world. Help us see how we can do things to help children
who need our love and assistance. Amen.
