Read John 14:1-14. Focus on the verses that talk about their being many rooms in God’s house.
Look at a picture of the church. You can find one online at our website. There is also one on the cover of the church directory. Some old bulletins might include the sketch of the church. You could also ask your children to draw a picture of the church from memory, then drive by to see how close they got it.
Ask the question, “Is there room for everyone in God’s house.” This week we touched on a Sacred Conversation on Racism in our church for more information. It lifts up the diversity in our culture and our need to understand our neighbors better. Ask your children to talk about the different kinds of people who are welcome in God’s house (gender, age, size, race, income, athletic skill, intellectual abilities, differently abled folks…..keep brainstorming) Have a prayer asking God to help us offer our love and open our hearts to everyone.
