The see-through wrap ... from CSS Plus \| John 12:1-8 \|
Teachers: Today's lesson has the theme of people that were angry because they were put in their place by someone else's words. Unjust criticism hurts our feelings and lowers our self-esteem, but criticism that is accurate is really hard to accept because we know it is true and it hurts even more. It makes us angry at the person who >> More

The prize of Christ ... from CSS Plus \| Second \| Philippians 3:4b-14 \|
Did any of you watch the Olympics last fall? Athletes competed in different games to see who would win the prize for being the best. I especially liked the runners.

The right priority ... from CSS Plus \| Gospel \| John 12:1-8 \|
Good morning! Today, I brought with me a bottle of perfume. Would you like to see what it smells like? (Put some on one or two of the children.) That really smells nice, doesn't it?

"The right priority" ... from CSS Plus \| Activity \| John 12:1-8 \|
Teachers or Parents: It is sometimes very difficult to get children to put the right priority on things in their lives. Their tendency, and our own, is to place a very high value on material things and let spiritual things be relegated to very low priorities. This story of Mary and her extravagant use of the perfume should remind us >> More

Forgetting ... from CSS Plus \| Second \| Philippians 3:8-14 \|
These are called "cue cards" and people use them for several purposes. When I was a student in college, I used them a lot to help me remember things.

Just a rock ... from CSS Plus \| Gospel \| Luke 20:9-19 \|
We would consider this (the charcoal or piece of coal) worthless. We don't have much use for it. We could use it for large projects, but most of us have no use for a single piece of charcoal. We would reject it -- throw it away. Jesus once compared himself to a stone that is rejected. In his >> More

Just a rock ... from CSS Plus \| Activity \| Luke 20:9-19 \|
Teachers or Parents: If your church building has a cornerstone, show it to the children.
