Ages 5-8 1 Samuel Calling

Samuel Hears God Calling

God speaks to children, and a child who listens can hear Him.

Bible passage: 1 Samuel 3:1-21

Memory verse

“Speak; for thy servant heareth.”

1 Samuel 3:10

Roman Urdu Farma, kyunke tera khadim sun raha hai.

Activity

Who is calling? One child sits at the front with eyes closed. Another child from the class says that child's name, and they must guess who spoke. Play several rounds. Then explain: the more you know a voice, the faster you know who it is. That is why we read the Bible.

Craft

Pillow card. Cut a small pillow shape from white paper, decorate it, and write "Speak, Lord, Your servant is listening" across it. The children put it under or near their pillow at home.

Closing prayer

Dear God, thank You that You speak to children too. Help me to be quiet enough to hear You. Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening. In Jesus' name, Amen.
