Hi, my Praise Island friends! • Yay! I’m so glad to see you today! This month

we’ve been having so fun learning about our awesome God who made everything WONDERFUL!

• Something WONDERFUL that God made is the jungle!

• Now some say that the lion is the king of the jungle, but we know that Jesus is the true King!

• Let’s get up dance to “King of the Jungle!”

Whew! Great singing and dancing for Jesus. Now, I have a question for you. Who made everything wonderful? PS World WK 3 (1)

• That’s right, God made everything wonderful! • And that reminds me of our memory verse. Let’s

check it out!

Let’s go over the verse together one more time! The LORD (point up) has done great things(thumbs up) for us (thumbs to chest) and we are filled with joy (wave arms – left, right, left) Psalm 126:3 (hold hands open like a book)

Guess what, friends? If you can tell your small group leader the memory verse all on your own, you’ll get a very SPECIAL STICKER! PS World WK 3 (2)

That’s right, I said sticker. I don’t know about you, but I love collecting stickers.

Speaking of collecting, our friends from the Wonder Clubhouse have been earning badges for the Wonder Scouts. Let’s check in with them to see what they have to earn today.

Our friend Gus is trying to earn his animal badge! But He lost Speedy the turtle! Now let’s follow Ollie to our TRUE story from the best book EVER-The Bible! And let’s hope that Gus can find Speedy!

• I’m so glad our friend Gus found his turtle Speedy.

• Now raise your hand if you love animals. (Pause.) Me too! I LOVE animals. Quick, on the count of three, call out your favorite animal. Ready? One, two, three! (Wait for response)

• Wow! You named lots of animals! You know, the Bible tells us way back at the beginning about how all the animals were made. Do you know who made the animals? (God)

• Which brings us to our Bottom Line!

God made everything wonderful! PS World WK 3 (4)

• God made them all. He knows them all. And He takes care of them all. I don’t know about you, but that makes me want to say “WOW!” Say it with me. (WOW)

• What does that mean for us? It means that we should take care of ALL that God created.

• It also shows us how POWERFUL our God is! And how creative He is too!

• And just like He created the animals and loves them so much, He created us and loves us too!

• Sin ruined the perfect world God made and our friendship with God.

• But when we choose to accept Jesus’ forgiveness for our sins, we have the promise of perfect, forever-life with God!

Let’s take a moment to pray: Heavenly Father, You are creative! Thank You for dogs and cats, fish and birds, penguins and peacocks, lions and turtles. You are an awesome God, and You’ve made everything wonderful. Thank You! In Jesus’ name, amen. Now let’s get up on our feet as we worship God today!

Everything was created by God and belongs to Him. That even means when we get something special, it’s a special blessing, or gift from God. Because He gives us so much, we can thank Him by giving to help others. We can do this through our offering. PS World WK 3 (6)

Not only should we care for the animals God created, but we can also care for all the people God created too. We give you an opportunity to care for them through our Family Mission! --As some of you are getting ready to go back to school, or you have big brothers and big sisters getting ready for school, you can pray for them! --Our August Family Mission is a back to school prayer! You and your family can pray for the kids getting ready for school and ALSO the teachers, the principals, and workers! Before we leave today, we’re going to pray for all the students!

Now we have been playing this fun bug race game. But we have a new bug winner for this round. On the screen there will be 3 bugs that are racing! Pick which bug you think will win the race!

That was so much fun! Hope to see you next week! And don’t forget to take a moment to look outside and see God’s wonderful world! Let’s pray for students going back to school! Lead Kids in Prayer PS World WK 3 (8)
