Always Full on the Bread of Life!
Needed: snacks to give to the children
Call children up and start eating a snack as the children come forward. Have a drink with you as well.
Ask children to see how long they can hold their breath, and you hold your breath. When you breathe again, ask, Did you feel like you were running out of air? Would you ever feel like you're running out of air if you just always keep breathing? (No, if you always keep breathing, you should normally always have enough air.)
Ask, have you ever been thirsty? Would you ever feel thirsty if you just always keep drinking? (Take a drink.) If I always keep drinking, I won't ever feel thirsty.
Ask, have you ever felt hungry, like your stomach was empty? Would your stomach ever feel empty if you just always kept eating? (Eat more of your snack.) If I always keep eating, my stomach won't ever feel empty.
It's the same way with Jesus. We won't ever feel empty in our spirits if we always keep praying, keep reading our Bibles, keep going to church, and keep singing to Jesus! Jesus will fill us up in our spirits.
(Give kids a snack to help them remember that Jesus fills them up in their spirits.)
