Intro Konnection Point Konnection Worship Konnection

It’s great to see all of you! My name’s ______, and I’m your emcee! This week, we’re talking about growing up. You know—being responsible, making good choices, and being ready for all the things God made you to do! That’s how you can be mature! Repeat after me, “Be mature!” (Kids repeat) Be mature! 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, “No more whining or complaining. It’s time to grow up!” Repeat after me loud and proud! No more whining or complaining. … (Kids repeat) No more whining or complaining. … … It’s time to grow up! (Kids repeat) It’s time to grow up! Way to go! Now, I heard there was a very contagious case of the whines going around on Konnect HQ—let’s see what links the crew discovers to quit the whining and complaining!

Eww! I heard some whines in those small groups! Good thing the rest of you fought them off with today’s point! Say it with me! (Together with kids) No more whining or complaining. It’s time to grow up! Now tell your neighbor, “Don’t catch the whines!” (Kids tell their neighbor) Don’t catch the whines! Well done, friends. Now we can learn about worship!

Giving Konnection Verse Konnection Life Konnection

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 this next video, I’ll choose a couple of friends to pick up the offering! (Choose helpers.)

Wow! That was a narrow escape! I thought the whines were gonna take over! But the Konnect crew found the links they needed to know God’s truth. Let’s say the Bible verse about it together. (Do motions and say in rhythm with kids) Philippians 2:14 Do everything without complaining and arguing … Wah, wah. Uh-uh! Great job! Now we’ve got a great game to play in our small groups—and let me just say—some of you are gonna have to act just like Jonah did in the Bible story today!

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: when we admit our faith in Jesus and follow Him, we’re God’s friends! He’ll help us grow closer to Him, grow more mature, and grow better at saying no to the whining and complaining. Talk to your small groups about that right now!
