This week’s question is: How should I serve others?

We learned in class this week how Jesus served his disciples in an incredible way. You can read about it again in John 13: 1-17. Imagine having no paved roads or sidewalks and wearing sandals all the time! In Jesus’ time servants would wash people’s feet. It was a lowly job. But Jesus washed the disciples feet himself! He showed that we should serve others.

Grab an old towel and a permanent marker (get permission from your parents!) and write the name of a few people that you want to serve and why you want to serve them. You can hang the towel in your bathroom to remind you to follow through on your idea.

Then discuss these questions with your family:

Why was Jesus willing to be a servant?

Why does Jesus want us to follow his example of servanthood?

What are ways our family members can serve each other?

How can we encourage each other to remember to be servants?

Pray together to ask God to remind you to be willing and cheerful servants.
