This is only the PreK Lesson.
“At the Table series” was co-written with Brandi Miller, who is Pastor at Quest church and host of the podcast Reclaiming my Theology. Brandi is an incredible theologian and I feel SO lucky to have this co-write existing in your communities. When I approached Brandi about the series, she got to pick the theme and the stories that she wanted to tell to kids.
Jesus was unapologetically a message of inclusion versus exclusion as he disrupted the systems in front of him. So how can it be that this story of love, inclusion, and disruption is one that we’ve also used to shame the most easily influenced minds into loving Jesus as well? As we reimagine how to tell this story with the kids and students we love, my hope is that we get to invite kids to love a God who is someone that can be trusted. Someone that not just loves them but actually likes them as well. A God who is present in the chaos of today just as they were present in the chaos of Jesus’ time.
Stories:
Abraham
King David
Feeding 5,000
The Great Feast
The Last Supper
Surprise Breakfast
