Hold a small cup and say, “This is me.” In the other hand, hold a clear container of M&Ms and say, “This is Jesus.”
Pour the candy into your glass, overflowing it and making a mess. Hold he glass up and say, “This is Jesus for me. But look at all this extra Jesus. What should I do with it?” The kids will say, “Share it!” or “I want some!” or something similar. Bring out identical cups and say to the Children, as you hand them a cup full of candy, “Here is the love of Christ for you.”
When each Child has been served, tell them, “In church and at home we try to give you the lessons of love that Jesus taught us. And the beaut of it is, no matter ow much of this love you give away (take a bit of candy), there will always be enough for you.”
PRAYER: Thank you God for the love you have shown us by sending your Son to earth, so that we may hear his message of love and peace. May we take that sweet message and fill our lives with it in everything we say and everything we do. And may we also share that message, so that all may know how sweet it is in know you. Through this great gift and blessing, we say ‘thank you’ and let the Children say ‘Amen.'”
