Theme:
The theme of this worship is teaching kids about why God needed to send Jesus to earth. It uses a fable told from missionary doctor, Paul White’s book, Jungle Doctor’s Fables, as well as Bible verses and questions asked at the end of the lesson. There is a hands-on component to this worship that can be continued over a few days and includes gardening.
For this worship, you’ll need:
- Bible
- Unshelled Peanuts (or another seed that will grow into food)
- Paper Towel
- Ziplock Bag
- Jungle Doctor’s Fables – Book 1
- Paper and Pencil
Audio for this Worship:
If you don’t have the book, Jungle Doctor’s Fables – Book 1, then you can listen to this audio recording of the story.
Reflection:
After you’ve read or listened to the story, all of the family members should give their feedback on the story.
