OPTION #1: REMEMBER ME
What are 3 things you want people to remember about you? Now, make a list of 10 things you remember about Jesus. (Stories, things He did on earth) Was it hard?
Even though Jesus hadn’t died yet, He wanted His disciples to remember what He was going to do. It was/is the most important thing in all of History!
Why was Jesus dying important?
As believers (followers of Jesus, disciples) we still take communion to remember Jesus and what He did for us.

OPTION #2: Paint with feet (Paint, Paper, Wipe)
Put paper on the floor or outside on the concrete (Put newspaper underneath to protect the floor). Use the paint to draw a picture of your favorite food to eat at a feast, but you can only use your bare feet to paint. After you finish, use the wipe to clean every bit of paint off your feet.

Was it harder than you thought to clean your feet? To really clean someone’s feet, you have to work hard to clean every crevice and between each toe. In today’s story, Jesus cleaned His disciples’ feet! Their feet were super dirty from traveling in sandals for days. Jesus served His disciples by washing their feet, and He wants us to serve others.

Taking Communion

Recipe for Unleavened Bread: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/241680/unleavened-bread-for-communion/
Anyone can eat unleavened bread (bread that doesn’t rise).
But to eat it as part of “Communion” is very serious.

SO, WHAT IS COMMUNION?

Here are some principles to help us understand it better:

• Communion is for followers of Jesus. People who believe Jesus died on the cross to pay for the sins of the world and have accepted Jesus’ payment on the cross for their sins are followers of Jesus, or Christians. Jesus told His followers communion was something they should do together.
  “For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, ‘This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 1 Corinthians 11:23-24
• Jesus wants us to use communion to remember Him, and tell others about Him until He returns. ”’...do this...in remembrance of Me.’ For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.” 1 Corinthians 11:26
• The bread and juice represent His body and blood. 
  “And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’ In the same way, after the supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.’” Luke 22:19-20
• Check yourself before taking communion. Is there something you’ve done wrong before the Lord that you need to make right? “So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.” 1 Corinthians 11:27-29
  Communion Passages: 1 Cor. 11:23-29; Matt. 26:26-30; Luke 22:19-20

 

ASK YOUR FAMILY:

 

 

QUESTION #1:  Would you do that? (Answer honestly)

• Scrub the bathroom.
• Change a diaper.
• Take out the trash.
• Walk the dog.
• Dig a hole in the mud.
• Wash smelly clothes.
• Repaint a house.
• Clean your room.
• Serve food at a busy restaurant.
• Wash dishes at a restaurant.
• Do the dishes for your grandma.
• Wash other people’s dirty feet.

Most of those tasks don’t sound very fun! How about that last one—wash other people’s dirty feet? I’m not sure I would want to wash anyone’s feet. I’m not sure I would even let someone else wash my feet! But in the Bible story we heard today, Jesus washed His disciples’ feet. Why would He do that?
“When He had finished washing their feet, He put on His clothes and returned to His place. ‘Do you understand what I have done for you?’ He asked them. ‘You call Me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.’” John 1:12-15
