Week 1and Week 2- Jesus Christ taught us how to serve others-
Tell the children that one day a man asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?" Jesus answered him by telling a story that teaches how to serve others. Give and talk about the story of the Good Samaritian. Then ask "What does this story teach us about who our neighbors are? Who should we serve?" Talk about that we can serve anybody in need whether we know them or not. Testify that Jesus loves everyone and wants us to serve everyone. Encourage them to serve those in their famiy by giving them a service smile and give it to the person in their family after they perform the service. Then after they do the service talk about how it hepled them and others feel happy.
Week 3- When I serve my family, I serve God.
Read Mosiah 2:17 "When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God" and talk about it and help children memorize the scripture. Then sing "When we're helping ," subsisting the word serving for the word helping and substituting other family members. Remind the children when we serve others we are serving God. Also tell them that they can serve their families any time of the day.
Week 4-When I serve my neighbors, I serve God.
Talk about how the children can help a primary leader who is overwhelmed and in need of help and have them suggest ways they could help her. Remind them that Jesus Christ told us to serve others. Show pictures of children who need help and talk about ways the children can help them. Encourage them, with their family, find ways to serve their neighbor and do it. Point out that even though their hands are smaller they can still do many acts of service.
