Prayer Time: #1 in our top 10:   Ask the kids what you can pray about and lead them in prayer about their personal requests.

Bible Story: (found under Make it True ) The story looks complicated this week with the setup, props, etc.; but, I actually think it will  be a fun way to story tell.  Instead of the art setup they recommend you could just use white butcher block paper that we have.  Tape it up to the wall and draw the story as you go.  What fun! The kids will love it.  You also could have the "helper teacher"  draw while you tell it.... 

  
 Activities:  (Make it Stick and Make it Fun)-Read through all the activities, because the ones before the story seem complicated and difficult.  The activities later in the lesson are fun. 

• Fish in the Nets-I have a large net that you could use or you could also draw one on Butcher block paper.  You might have kids decorate and cut out their own fish (or mulitple fish).  They love to cut things out!
•  Ocean streamers-We have mini small fish that can be cut from a die cut machine, (even Sunday morning) and we also have blue tissue paper.
  
• Full of Fish-counting and goldfish cracker activity. we always have goldfish at church, so kids may like this activity.
