Born to Be King
OBJECTS: A crown
What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher, a policeman, a lawyer, a doctor, or a nurse? There are so many jobs from which to choose. How do we decide? Some might choose a job where they think they can make a lot of money. Another might choose to be a teacher because of their love for children. Another might choose to be a doctor or a nurse because they want to help sick people become well. Some might choose to follow their parents in their chosen profession. Quite often a person starts out in one job and then decides it isn’t the right one for them and they choose another type of work. When we are children, we may say, “I want to do this or that when I grow up.” It doesn’t always work out that way.
Do you think Jesus ever thought about what he was going to be when he grew up? He could have become a carpenter. His earthly father, Joseph, was a carpenter, and when Jesus was a young man, he worked with his father in his carpenter’s shop.

For this I was Born
OBJECTS: None
Have you heard stories about your birth? Where you were born, what time of day you were born, who the doctor was, or who came to visit you? Perhaps you have seen pictures taken when you were a baby so you know what you looked like then.
Parents like to tell stories about when you were able to use a spoon and begin to feed yourself or when you took your first steps and began to walk. They like to remember the funny and cute things you did.
The birth of a baby is a joyous event. You come into the world as a new person and there is no one else like you anywhere.

Word of the Week
SERVICE
The Cats in Krasinski
Set in Warsaw in 1942, this picture book brings to life a little-known act of Jewish resistance to the Nazi regime. A young girl who escaped from the Ghetto and lives with her older sister does great works of service. Along with her friends, they provide food to those who are starving in the Ghetto. When the Gestapo learn about what they have been doing, they send a pack of food-sniffing dogs to track down the bundles of food that are coming in on the trains for those in the Ghetto. The little girl, who often plays with the cats who live outside of the Ghetto, devises a scheme to gather the cats in baskets and have them divert the dogs’ attention away from the bundles of food. Through her clever thinking, she and her friends are able to continue doing service for others.
