Listen to and sing the songs that will be a part of this week's worship service.

• “Rise, Shine You People” (Lutheran Service Book 825)
• “Hark the Voice of Jesus Calling” (LSB 827)
• “Take My Life and Let It Be” (LSB 783)

1. Listen-Make a large ear picture and decorate it. Include the words, “I will listen for the Lord’s call.” Talk about ways that God might “call” us (likely not with his voice in the same way that Samuel was). How do we know if it’s God calling us and if it’s something we should do or not?
2. Temple Care-Offer a variety of foods (or show pictures) including lots of healthy options and lots of junk food options. Talk about what foods help us take care of our bodies well. Read 1 Corinthians 6:19a. Talk about what it means that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. How else can we care for our bodies well?
3. Hide and Seek-Play hide and seek. As each person is found, the seeker can invite them to help be a seeker too. Talk about how Jesus called his disciples. What is it like to be invited to join someone in what they’re doing? How is this game like joining Jesus in seeking new disciples?
