Kids Address
• Do you know what being picked on means? (Discuss)
• Sometimes kids do this because they are jealous. You may have
more friends than them, or the teacher may seem to like you more than
them.
• But being jealous of you is not the only way kids pick on you
or make fun of you.
• Some times they will make fun of you because you go to church
• Have any of you experienced this (Discuss)
• Today is a very complicated bible reading. But what it is saying
is this. Jesus is very proud of you when you stick up for him.
• We do that when we tell our friends we enjoy coming to church
because we do this and that (Mention some of the exciting things your
parish does)
• If other kids make fun of you, then you just say, "I don't
care what you say. I enjoy being with my church friends"
• Jesus beams all over when you stick up for him and his family
here
• Today we are going to think about some of the exciting things
we have done over the past 12 months. This will be a good reminder so
we can tell other kids what a great time we have here at Saint Thomas'
