Children's Ministry Package ? Good Friday

Sermon Series

The King in Jerusalem ? Matthew 21-28

Bible Focus this Week

Matthew 27:32-66

Explanation of Resources

This material has been developed to resource families and churches with appropriate children's curriculum for Good Friday. Included within this package are resources that can be modified and adapted for children aged 1-12years.

Our curriculum focuses upon Biblical literacy and provides opportunities for multi-age engagement, discussion, individual reflection, and hands-on learning in our activities.

How to Use

We would love to see children and families growing as disciples of Jesus - so please feel free to use any of these resources at your church, school or at home. To get the most of out these materials, you will need to think about the age ranges of your children, and how you could best engage the children in the discussion and activities. You will find most of these resources can be adapted to groups of varied sizes, albeit with some creativity!

We suggest the following order to help the children understand the main points being taught in this curriculum:

? Worship (in service) ? Kid's Talk ? Watch Multimedia ? Read Scripture together ? Small Group Discussion ? Pray ? Complete activities ? Children's Worship The songs we use for worship are linked directly to the day's topic, but are different in style to those used in Church. We have found the children love to use their whole body when their worship, so we dance, do actions, and have a wonderful time singing.

This is a free, printable resource, available via download. Multiple copies can be made to resource your family or church. We do ask however, that you don't upload these resources on your own webpage.

Jesus is nailed to the Cross

BIBLE

Story

32-44 On the way to Golgotha (meaning place of the skull), they met a man

from Cyrene, named Simon. They forced him to help carry the cross the rest of the

way.

After they arrived, they had nailed Jesus to the cross, and divided up his clothes by casting lots.

Above his head they placed the written charge against him. It read,

This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.

Two criminals were crucified with Jesus. One

was on his right and one was on his left.

Those who passed by shouted at Jesus and made fun of him. They shook their heads and said, "So you are going to destroy the temple and build it again in three days? Why not save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the

Son of God!"

In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders made

fun of him. "He saved others," they said. "But he can't save himself!"

Jesus Dies

45-56 From 12-3pm, the whole land was covered with

darkness.

Then Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "My God, my God,

why have you deserted me?"

Some of those standing there heard

Jesus cry out. One of the men ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered

it to Jesus to drink.

After Jesus cried out again in a loud voice, he died.

At that moment the temple curtain was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook. The rocks split. Tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people were raised to life.

The Roman commander and those guarding Jesus saw the everything that happened. They

were terrified and exclaimed, "Surely he was

the Son of God!"
