Aim
To look at what things contribute to real happiness and how we show it.
Welcome
One of the team waves a piece of paper with results of ‘Happiness’ survey – mentions several to see what children think.
What about doing our own top 10 list?
Children help compile list
Which ones might last the longest – give the longest –lasting amount of happiness?
How do we know if you’re happy? How does it show? Let’s listen to this story from the Bible about someone who couldn’t do any of that stuff.
Acts 3, 1-11
Story from Acts 3, 1-11 about healing of lame man – makes points that what Peter and John gave was a gift for life, not something like money.
Reflection
Let’s look again at the list – what would work best for you to create the most happiness? Have a think for a moment about what you could do to make something in that list happen.
