Greet new members and introduce them to
the class and the Critters.
Open the class with a prayer.
- Read the Bible Verse for the day!
-
- The Bible Says:
- "I want men everywhere to pray. I want
them to lift up holy hands. I don't want them to be angry when
they pray, I don't want them to argue." 1 Timothy 2:8
-
- Objective:
- Show God wants them to pray with a thankful
heart. It is important to take care of angry feelings in a good
way. Praying to God and talking to others will help them see
the truth so they can stop being angry.
-
- (Speak with the children)
- It is OK for you to get angry. It is how
you act or behave when you are angry that concerns God. It is
good to tell someone when you are angry. It is not good to do
bad things or act badly. God wants you to think about it and
bring a happy end to your anger. You can do this, with His help!
-
- (Teach the children)
- It is Not OK for us to stay angry. Praying
to Jesus can quiet our tempers and make us feel better. God has
given us family and friends to help us turn bad feelings into
good ones. Our parents and teachers can help us see what God
would have us do with our anger.

- (Let the Critters help teach the lesson)
-
- Watch the Sunset part 1
- Emmi Squirrel is angry. Cami Cub and Joshua
Jackrabbit went fishing and they did not ask her to come with
them. They thought she was busy getting ready for their Thanksgiving
Dinner. Liam Leapfrog will comfort Emmi and help her know her
friends love her. She must get over her angry feelings before
the night time comes. It could cause problems and sadness at
their Thanksgiving Day celebration.
(closing)
Repeat today's Bible verse.
- When the bible says "men" it is
speaking of all people. He is talking to all of His children.
It is important to forgive and hold our tempers. That is hard
for us to do sometimes. God loves to help us! When we ask Him
to help us, He will! He wants us to thank Him and praise Him
for everything He does. He knows anger will get in the way of
how we love Him and others.
-
- Worship God with music.
