Hi kids! Welcome to Konnect! I'm so glad you're here! My name’s _____ and I'm your emcee! Don’t forget it!

Guess what? There’s someone else’s name you need to know. Your Small Group Leader’s! Make sure you know their name and they know yours.

Let’s see how many of you REMEMBER my name. Shout it out!

(Kids shout out your name.)

Now my friend Nitro will explain some important rules.

It’s so great to be able to give to God!

Let’s learn today's Point. It says, “I have faith in Jesus!”

Repeat it after me loud and proud! I have faith …

(Kids repeat) I have faith …

… in Jesus!

(Kids repeat) … in Jesus!

Super! I wonder what the Konnect crew will learn about that Point on the space station.

God is always in control, and we can have faith and hope in Him when things don’t look good.

You know, I’m thinking of someone in this room who helps you learn to have faith in Jesus each and every week: your Small Group Leader!

Shout out their name!

(Kids shout out their Small Group Leader’s name.)

Great job! Now, get ready to worship God with your loudest praise voice!

Giving Konnection 2 Verse Konnection 4 Life Konnection 6

When you follow Nitro's rules and make choices that put others first, your Small Group Leader might give you a Dot sticker!

If you get a Dot, you can take it to the Konnect Window after we’re finished to get points and earn awesome prizes!

Okay! I’ll choose a couple of friends to pick up the offering while we sit up straight and tall and learn what offering is all about.

(Choose helpers.)

Wow. Luke had to have faith that God’s always in control, even when things didn’t go the way he expected. Tell your neighbor, “Have faith!”

(Kids tell their neighbor) Have faith!

Let’s practice our Bible verse about that. Say it with me.

(Say in rhythm with kids) Hebrews 11:1 Faith is being sure of what we hope for. It is being certain of what we do not see.

Great job! Now let’s play a game to remind us God’s always in control, even when things aren’t going our way.

I’m so glad we have the ABCs of salvation to make us right with God! Everything we’ve been through means nothing without Him!

If you want Jesus to be your leader, tell your Small Group Leader today.

Now it’s time to talk about what we can do this week to show our faith that God’s in control and gives us hope.

Listen to your Small Group Leader, and share what you’ve learned about.

The Verse Romans 10:9 NIRV Say with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord.” Believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead. Then you will be saved.

The Point I admit my faith in Jesus!

Worship Song List The Way I Live by Faith Jesus Is Alive Right Now




It’s great to see all of you! My name’s _____ and I'm your emcee!

All this month, we’re talking about faith.

Let’s say, “Faith!” together! On three: 1 … 2 … 3!

(Together with kids) Faith!

Super! Let’s listen to Nitro as he explains our rules so we can have the most fun EVER!

I love to honor God with my offering!

Okay, let’s learn today's Point. It says, “I admit my faith in Jesus!”

Repeat after me loud and proud: I admit …

(Kids repeat) I admit …

… my faith in Jesus!

(Kids repeat) … my faith in Jesus!

Way to go! Now let’s watch the Konnect show to see what it means to admit our faith!

Your faith bracelets are amazing! Once we admit Jesus is our Lord—He is. And we can share our faith with others, so they can find out about Jesus, too!

Tell your neighbor, “Share your faith!”

(Kids tell their neighbor) Share your faith!

Great! Now, say the Point with me.

(Together with kids) I admit my faith in Jesus!

Yes! Now we can learn about worship!


Show me what a good audience looks like!

Fantastic! Participating in everything is a great way to get Dot stickers 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, I’ll choose a couple of friends to pick up the offering!

(Choose helpers.)

Wow! Alissa was a great friend to admit her faith in Jesus to Kate. I’m sure she’ll keep praying that Kate will follow Jesus soon!

Our Bible verse talks about admitting our faith. Let’s say it together.

(Say in rhythm with kids) Romans 10:9 Say with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord.” Believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead. Then you will be saved.

Great job! Now let’s make some slap bracelets that admit our faith in Jesus with our Small Groups!

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!

God kept it simple for us to get to know Him: we just have to admit our faith in Jesus and follow Him. After that, we’re God’s friends, and we can grow closer to Him.

Talk in your Small Groups about that right now!

EMCEE TECH GUIDE FAITH WEEK 3 FAITH CAN GROW

The Verse James 2:26 NLT Just as the body is dead without breath, so also faith is dead without good works.

The Point I do good things to grow my faith in Jesus!

Worship Song List Greater Is He Endless Praise I Live by Faith




Welcome to Konnect! My name’s _____ and I’ll be your emcee!

This week, we’re talking about what we can do to grow our faith. Yell out, “Faith can grow!”

(Kids shout out) Faith can grow!

Awww … you sound like a bunch of old grandmas! Try it louder!

(Kids shout out) Faith can grow!

That’s it! Keep that thought in your heads as we watch Nitro break down the rules!

I saw some generous Konnect kids!

Our Point today is, “I do good things to grow my faith in Jesus.”

Now repeat it after me. I do good things …

(Kids repeat) I do good things …

… to grow my faith in Jesus!

(Kids repeat) … to grow my faith in Jesus!

Way to go! Now that YOU know the Point, let’s see what the Konnect crew learns about it!

Raise your hand up high if your group thought of a lot of ways to grow your faith!

(Kids raise their hands.)

Wow! That’s fantastic! Now, I’ll say the first part of the Point, and you kids finish it for me. Ready? I do good things …

(Kids shout out) … to grow my faith in Jesus!

Amazing! You’ve all been GREAT! I hope some of you get Dot stickers from your Small Group Leaders.

Let’s watch this worship video so we can all know about worshipping God!


Now, how many rules were there? Show me with your fingers!

(Kids hold up 4 fingers.)

That’s right, four. Follow them to get Dot stickers from your Small Group Leaders! They’re good for points at the Konnect Window!

Now it’s time to show honor to God with offering. Watch the offering video while I choose two friends to pick up the gifts you brought for God!

(Choose helpers.)

Looks like Mike found out that our faith never stops growing when we do good things to feed it.

The Bible has a verse that talks about what happens when we stop trying to grow our faith. Say it with me.

(Say in rhythm with kids) James 2:26 Just as the body is dead without breath, so also faith is dead without good works.

You sounded great! Now let’s play a game in our Small Groups to think of some good things we can do to keep our faith growing!

When I found out Jesus died for me to make me right with God, I was surprised He knew everything about me and still loves me so much!

If you want to follow Jesus, let your Small Group Leader know today!

Having Jesus in your heart fills you with faith, and when you choose to live God’s way and spend time with Him, that faith grows, and grows, and grows!

Go ahead and talk more about the ABCs, faith, and how to grow it in your Small Groups!

EMCEE TECH GUIDE FAITH WEEK 4 FAITH MEETS NEEDS

The Verse Hebrews 13:16 NLT And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.

The Point I meet needs to show my faith in Jesus!

Worship Song List I Live by Faith Let It Be Known Shine a Light




Hi friends! My name’s _____ and I’m your emcee!

This weekend, we’re talking about how to show your faith to others! You know … when you love God so much it makes you want to help others out? Everybody say, “Help others!” with me!

(Together with kids) Help others!

Aw, c’mon … you can say it louder!

(Kids shout out) Help others!

Whoa! My ears are hurting now! Listen up as my best robotic friend, Nitro, shares the rules with all of us!

God gives us so much, and we’re so blessed we get to give some of it back to Him!

This week’s Point is, “I meet needs to show my faith in Jesus!”

How about you kids say it with me? Are you ready?

(Kids respond.)

Okay, let’s all say it together!

(Together with kids) I meet needs to show my faith in Jesus!

Nice! Now get ready to see what the Konnect crew does when they’re glad!

You guys are gonna get to help a lot of people in need this week! Woo hoo!

Let’s see. Which Small Group can say, “Meet needs!” the loudest? Let me hear you!

(Kids shout out) Meet needs!

Oh, I think name a Small Group was the loudest!

Now look on the screen to focus on worshipping God!


Great! You all listened to Nitro really well! And some of you might even get a reward for making great choices today: a Dot sticker!

Your Small Group Leader will be watching to see who they can pass out Dot stickers to this week! Those Dots are worth some serious points at the Konnect Window.

Now I’ll choose two friends to pick up our offering while the rest of us watch the offering video. Let’s find out why we give money to God.

(Choose helpers.)

Whoa! Baloney Bob had a lot to learn about showing faith. When we give people what they need, it shows our faith, and pleases God.

Let’s say our Bible verse about that together.

(Say in rhythm with kids) Hebrews 13:1 And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.

Great job! Now, let’s think of some ways we can meet the needs of the people around us to show them our faith in Jesus!

God gave us the most amazing gift ever: His Son, Jesus.

Let your Small Group Leader know if you’re ready to accept that gift. All you have to do is admit your sin, believe Jesus died for you, and choose to depend on God’s power to help you say, “No!” to sin!

Once you start following God, He fills you with His power. And that power changes you in a good way to live a life full of faith that people can see.

Talk about how people can see your faith during your Small Group time.

The Verse Hebrews 4:16 NLT So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There … we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

The Point When I need help, I can go to God.

Worship Song List Limitless Loved Jesus What a Friend




Hi kids! Welcome to Konnect! I'm so glad to see all of you here today! My name’s _____ and I'm your emcee!

Guess what? Today we’re gonna talk about asking and listening. So ask your Small Group Leader what their their favorite color is, and then listen to what they say. On three: 1 … 2 … 3!

(Kids ask their Small Group Leaders.)

Okay, now that you’ve practiced asking and listening, my friend Nitro will explain some important rules.

It’s so great to be able to give to God!

Let’s learn today's Point. It says, “When I need help, I can go to God.”

Repeat it after me loud and proud! When I need help …

(Kids repeat) When I need help …

… I can go to God.

(Kids repeat) … I can go to God.

Super! I wonder what the Konnect crew will learn about that Point on the space station.

When God speaks and we don’t listen, we won’t know what He’s telling us or how He’s helping us! Asking is important, but we’ve got to listen, too!

Now let’s see who can say, “Ask God, and listen!” the loudest!

Small Groups on my left side, let me hear you!

(together) Ask God, and listen!

Okay, Small Groups on my right side!

(together) Ask God, and listen!

Wow, the _____ side was the loudest! Now, let’s learn about worship!


When you follow Nitro's rules and make choices that put others first, your Small Group Leader might give you a Dot sticker!

If you get a Dot, you can take it to the Konnect Window after we’re finished to get points and earn awesome prizes!

Okay! I’ll choose a couple of friends to pick up the offering while we sit up straight and tall and learn what offering is all about.

(Choose helpers.)

Wow. Everyone was really good at going to the room and asking, but they had a lot of trouble listening for an answer. You have to do both when you go to God for His help!

Let’s practice our Bible verse about that. Say it with me.

(Say in rhythm with kids) Hebrews 4:16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There … we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

Great job! Let’s see how strong our ears are with our Small Group activity. How good are you at asking and listening?

I’m so glad we have the ABCs of salvation to make us right with God! Everything we’ve been through means nothing without Him!

If you want Jesus to be your leader, tell your Small Group Leader today.

Now it’s time to talk about what we can do this week to show God that we ask Him first when we need help, and we listen for His answer.

Listen to your Small Group Leader, and share what you’ve learned about.
