OUR OPENING PRAYER WILL BE GIVEN BY

(Enter name here)

• How do you feel when you

are kind to others?

Let’s take 1 minute each to share

something you have done recently to show

kindness to someone else.

• How have Heavenly Father

& Jesus asked us to treat

others?

I’m going to draw a large circle on the chalkboard like this one…

What does love mean to you?

I’m going to write your answers outside of the circle.

Now, name people you love and I’ll write these names inside the circle.

This is the Circle of Love.

As we become more Christ-like, we learn to love and serve others better and include more people in our circles of love.

In this lesson we will learn how Jesus Christ wants us to love everyone.

Scripture Time!

34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

The Scriptures teach us how we should treat other people.

Let’s read John 13:34:

Scripture Time!

•What does this scripture tell us to do?

•LOVE ONE ANOTHER

• It is so important that we learn to love each other that it is repeated many times in the scriptures.

• Heavenly Father wants us to love every one of His children, just as He wants us to love each member of our own families.

Jesus Wants Us to Love Everyone

As I have loved you, Love one another. This new commandment: Love one another. By this shall men know Ye are my disciples, If ye have love One to another.

Let’s make a list on the

chalkboard:

1. In what ways did Jesus Christ show his love for others?

2. In what ways can we show love for others by following Jesus’ example and doing what he taught us to do?

The Scriptures Help Us Know How Much We Mean to Jesus

• When Jesus visited the Nephites in America, they were excited and honored to be in His presence.

• They loved to be near Him and hear His teachings.

• Let’s listen to the story when Christ blessed the Nephite children.

•How do you think the little girl in this picture felt?

•If you were in the group of children with Jesus, how would you feel if Jesus placed His hands on your head?

I think when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men, How He called little children like lambs to His fold I should like to have been with Him then. I wish that His hands had been placed on my head, That His arms had been thrown around me, That I might have seen His kind look when He

said, “Let the little ones come unto me.”

Words: Jemima Luke, 1813–1906

Do any of you have an experience you can share when you have been included in someone’s circle of love, or when you have included someone else in your circle of love?

I need 4 volunteers to tell / act out what they would do in the following scenarios.

Volunteer # 1. You are building a birdhouse in your back yard with your friends. Your little brother comes up and asks if he can help.

What could you do to make your brother feel good about himself?

How would you feel if you were the little brother and your big

brother let you help?

Volunteer # 2. Your Primary class is planning a service project. Everyone is giving his / her ideas except Heather. She is shy & doesn’t say much. Suddenly Heather starts to speak, but she is interrupted by someone else and stops talking.

What could you do to show that you care about Heather & want to make her feel important? How would you feel if you were Heather & someone showed you that they cared?

Volunteer #3. You are playing outside at school, and you see some children telling another child not to play in their game. They are mean to that child.

What would you do to show that child that he / she is important? How would you feel if someone asked you to play when the other children hadn’t let you play?

Volunteer #4. There is a new boy in your Primary class, and some of the boys are teasing him because he acts differently than other members of the class.

What would you do to make the new boy feel accepted? How would you feel if you were new at church and someone took the time to talk to you and make you feel welcome?

I want you to know that Heavenly Father

& Jesus love each

one of us; they

want us to love &

help others, too.

Each of us is included

in Heavenly Father’s circle

of love.
