Go with God

Consider together what you have explored, what that means for you and how you will live your faith this week

Go with God 24/7  W A

Encourage everyone to put their faith into action

With your palm cross as a reminder, and perhaps some donkey ears too, think of one way each day to show that Jesus is king of your life – e.g. how you treat or speak to someone, or what you do with your possessions.

Go with God

Consider together what you have explored, what that means for each of you and how it might influence your daily lives. (10 mins)

 

FOR CHILDREN

Childrens Session
  • Make a display of the words you started with in ‘What is a king like?’ and the children’s palm leaves on a table or floor, reminding them that Jesus is a servant king.
  • Invite the children to look at the words and choose one that stands out to them. Ask them to think about the word this week in their interactions with others.

Very young childrens Session

Sing

To the tune: Row, row, row your boat

Ho, Ho, Hosanna
to the King of kings.
Live our lives to worship him:
The Lord of everything!

 

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

Young people Session
  • Listen to ‘The Christ The King’, Bryan & Katie Torwalt on I’ve Got Good News.
  • Invite the young people to think about what they have learnt today. Explain they will work together to act out today’s story but they should pause the action throughout and show what they’ve learnt – this could be acted out as part of the drama, or they may wish to freeze frame and narrate their thoughts.

 

Go with God 24/7 E S

Take your palm cross home and place it somewhere you will see it every day of the week. Think about the Palm Sunday story every time you see the cross, and ask God to remind you of the joy we have when we are part of God’s family.
