Hi, kids! Welcome to Konnect! I’m so glad you’re here! My name’s ______, and I’m your emcee! Don’t forget it! Guess what? There’s someone else’s name you need to know. Your Small Group Leader’s! Make sure you know their name and that they know yours. (Kids check small group leader’s name) Let’s see how many of you remember my name. Shout it out! (Kids shout out your name.) Great job, guys! Now, let’s watch a quick rules video so we can have the most awesome time!

It’s so great to be able to give to God! Let’s learn today’s point. It says, “God is bigger and stronger than any problem.” Repeat it after me loud and proud! God is bigger and stronger … (Kids repeat) God is bigger and stronger … … than any problem. (Kids repeat) … than any problem. Super! I wonder what the Konnect crew will learn about that Point.

Ewww! Those worms were kind of gross … and kind of cute! They really helped me think about how much God understands. I mean, He made the entire universe! You know, I’m thinking of someone in this room who helps you remember how great God is, every single week: your Small Group Leader! Shout out their name! (Kids should out their Small Group Leader’s name.) Great job! Now, get ready to worship God with your loudest praise voice!

Giving Konnection Verse Konnection Life Konnection

So, we’ve only got three rules. Not too bad, right? When you follow them and make choices that put others first, your small group leader might give you a Dot sticker! If you get a Dot, you can take it to the Konnect Window after we’re finished to get points and earn awesome prizes! Okay! I’ll choose a couple of friends to pick up the offering while we sit up straight and tall and learn what offering is all about. (Choose helpers.)

Wow! It’s hard to understand why God works one miracle and not another, but His way is greater than our way. No problem is ever too hard for Him. Our Bible verse reminds us of God’s great power. Say it with me. (Do motions and say in rhythm with kids) Jeremiah 32:17 “O … Lord! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you!” Great job! Now, we know God’s way is definitely bigger than ours—but let’s see if our way is bigger than a worm’s!

It’s very sad that the Konnect crew lost Dr. Emo. I’m thankful Dr. Emo knew the ABCs of salvation that make us right with God. If you want Jesus to be your leader, too, tell your Small Group Leader today. Now, it’s time to talk with our Small Groups. You can share how you feel about losing Dr. Emo and about how God is still great and powerful, even when we don’t understand the way things turn out.

It’s great to see all of you! My name’s ______, and I’m your emcee! This week, we’re talking about the invisible, spiritual world we can’t see with our eyes—the supernatural! Let’s say, “Supernatural!” together! On three: 1 … 2 … 3! (Kids repeat) Supernatural! Super! Now, listen up as our friends Ray and Luke talk about our Konnect rules!

I love to honor God with my offering! Okay, let’s learn today’s point. It says, “Heaven is my spirit’s home.” Repeat after me loud and proud! Heaven is … (Kids repeat) Heaven is … … my spirit’s home. (Kids repeat) … my spirit’s home. Way to go! Now, let’s watch the Konnect crew teach Nitro about Heaven!

Finding clues about what Heaven’s like is fun, but even when you read everything the Bible says about Heaven, you’ll still have questions! It’s a supernatural, super-spectacular surprise! Tell your neighbor, “Supernatural surprise!” (Kids tell their neighbor) Supernatural surprise! Great! Now, say the Point with me. (Kids tell their neighbor) Heaven is my spirit’s home. Yes! Now, we can learn about worship!


Great listening! Now, show me what a good audience looks like … Fantastic! Participating in everything is a great way to follow our Konnect rules, and it may even get you a Dot sticker from your small group leader. If you get one, you can show it off to your family so they know what a great job you did, and you can take it to the Konnect Window to get points for prizes! Now, while you learn what offering’s all about in the next video, I’ll choose a couple of friends to pick up the offering! (Choose helpers.)

Whoa! Nitro missed Dr. Emo, but knowing that Dr. Emo loved him and that Dr. Emo’s spirit was finally at home in Heaven sure helped. Our Bible verse tells us about our home in Heaven. Let’s say it together. (Do motions and say in rhythm with kids) Hebrews 13:14 For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come. Great job! Now, let’s see if your Small Group can figure out what Heaven is really like!

Okay! Say the ABCs with me! (Together with kids) Admit, believe, choose! That’s great! If you want to start following Jesus today, let your small group leader know, and they’ll talk about it with your family. God kept it simple for us to get to know Him. And when we trust and follow Jesus, He will help us remember our true home is in heaven with Him! Talk to your small groups about that right now!

Welcome to Konnect! My name’s ______, and I’ll be your emcee! This week, we’re talking about the angels God sends to serve us. Yell out, “Angels!” (Kids shout out) Angels! Aww—you sound like a bunch of old grandmas! Try it louder! (Kids shout out) Angels! That’s better. Keep that thought in your head as we watch our Konnect rules.

I saw some generous kids in here! Today, our point is, “We’ve got God’s angels on our side.” Now repeat it after me. We’ve got God’s angels … (Kids repeat) We’ve got God’s angels … … on our side. (Kids repeat) … on our side. Way to go! Now that you know the Point, let’s see what the Konnect crew learns about it!

Raise your hand up high if you think your Small Group knows the most about angels! (Kids raise their hands.) Wow! It looks like all your groups know a lot! Now, I’ll say the first part of the Point, and you kids finish it for me. Ready? We’ve got God’s angels … (Kids shout out) … on our side. Fantastic! Let’s watch this worship video so we can all know about worshiping God!


Now, how many rules were there? Show me with your fingers! (Kids hold up 3 fingers.) That’s right, three. Follow them so you have a great time, and some of you might even get Dot stickers from your small group leader! They’re good for points at the Konnect window! Now it’s time to show honor to God with tithes and offerings. Watch the offering video while I choose two friends to pick up the gifts you brought for God! (Choose helpers.)

Wow. Mike and Alissa found out that the Bible talks about angels, but there are still a lot of things we don’t know about them! Our Bible verse tells a little about what angels do. Say it with me. (Do motions and say in rhythm with kids) Hebrews 1:14 All angels are spirits who serve. God sends them to serve those who will receive salvation. You sounded great! Now, let’s play our own game of “Quizzed by an Angel!” with our Small Groups!

When I found out Jesus died for me to make me right with God, I was surprised He knows everything about me and still loves me so much! If you want to follow Jesus, let your Small Group Leader know today! When you trust and follow Jesus, you become friends with God, and He sends His angels to serve you! Go ahead and talk more about the ABCs and God’s angels in your Small Groups!

Hi, friends! Welcome to Konnect! My name’s ______, and I’m your emcee! Guess what? There’s someone else’s name you need to know. Your Small Group Leader’s! Make sure you know their name, and make sure they know yours, too. Let’s see how many of you remember your Small Group Leader’s name. Shout it out! (Kids shout out their Small Group Leader’s name.) Whoa! My ears are hurting! Now listen up as our friends will explain some important rules.

God gives us so much, and we’re so blessed we get to give some of it back to Him! Let’s learn today’s Point. It says, “I will think before I follow.” How about you kids say it with me? Are you ready? (Kids respond.) Okay, let’s all say it together! (Together with kids) I will think before I follow. Super! I wonder what the Konnect crew will learn about that Point on the space station.

That game really helped me think about which examples I should follow. You know, I’m thinking of someone in this room who you can follow, every single week—your Small Group Leader! Shout out their name! (Kids shout out their Small Group Leader’s name.) Great job! Now, get ready to worship God with your loudest praise voice!


When you follow the three rules and make choices that put others first, your Small Group Leader might give you a Dot sticker! If you get a Dot, you can take it to the Konnect Window after we’re finished to get points and earn awesome prizes! Now, I’ll choose two friends to pick up our offering while the rest of us watch the offering video. Let’s find out why we give money to God! (Choose helpers.)

Wow! It was not good when Alissa followed evil Mike’s example without thinking. Tell your neighbor, “Think first!” (Kids tell their neighbor) Think first! Let’s practice our Bible verse about that. Say it with me. (Say in rhythm with kids) Matthew 15:14 “ … If a blind person leads another who is blind, both of them will fall into a pit.” Great job! Now, let’s play a game with our small groups.

I’m so glad we have the ABCs of salvation to make us right with God! Everything we’ve been through means nothing without Him! If you want Jesus to be your leader, tell your Small Group Leader today. Now, it’s time to talk about what we can do to get better at thinking before we start to follow someone. Listen to your Small Group Leader, and share what you’ve learned about.
