Memory verse
“Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.”
John 20:29
Roman Urdu Mubarak hain woh jinhon ne bina dekhe iman laya.
Activity
The honest questions box. Everyone writes one real question or doubt on paper, unsigned, and puts it in a box. Read them out and work through as many as you can, without dismissing any. Say plainly when you do not know an answer, and find it before next week.
Craft
No craft. Give the time to the questions instead — this session usually needs all of it.
Closing prayer
Lord Jesus, thank You that You did not scold Thomas for asking. Here are my honest questions. Meet me the way You met him, and bring me to the place where I can say: my Lord and my God. Amen.
