Hi, friends! I’m ______, your emcee! That’s my name. Don’t wear it out! But it’s not the only name you need to know. On the count of three, tell me the name of your small group leader! 1—2—3! (Kids shout out name of their small group leader.) Sounds like you’ve got it! Don’t forget it! Now, listen up as our friends share the rules with us!

God is good to us. I love to give back to Him! It’s fun to do things that make us feel happy, but God’s blessings can fill us with lots and lots of joy! This week’s point is all about that: Lots of things might make me happy, but only God can give me joy. Now, say it with me! (Together with kids) Lots of things might make me happy, but only God can give me joy. Way to go! Now that you know the point, I’ve got a question for you. What do you think makes our friends at Konnect HQ happy? Let’s watch this find out!

Raise your hand if you had the happiest party in the room! (Kids raise their hands) Woo hoo! That’s a lot of happy parties! Let’s work on our point about that. I’ll say the beginning of the point, and you shout out the end! Lots of things might make me happy, (Kids shout out) … but only God can give me joy. Wow. That was loud. But how loud can you be to worship God? Let’s find out after we watch this video!

Great! Now for a pop quiz! Finish each rule for me. Rule number one: Listen to your … (Kids shout out) … small group leader! Rule number two: Be a good … (kids shout out) … friend! Rule number three: Have … (Kids shout out) … fun! Yep, sounds like you’ve got it! Now, I’ll choose two of you guys to pick up our offering. Watch this! (Point to the screen.) (Choose helpers.)

The Konnect HQ crew thought of a lot of things to cheer their old friend Ray up—but only God is the one who can fill her with joy. And the best way to get filled with God’s joy is to sing God’s praises! Say the Bible verse about that with me! (Do motions and say in rhythm with kids) James 5:13 … Are any of you happy? You should sing praises. Great! Now, it’s time to party in your small group!

The ABCs remind me how good God is! He gave us the best gift, ever: His Son, Jesus! Let your small group leader know if you’re ready to follow Him. Talk to your family about it! Let me pray for your small groups. Bow your heads! (Everyone bows their heads.) God, remind us to sing Your praises and please fill us with Your joy. In Jesus’ name, amen. OK, open up your eyes and have a good talk in your small group. Stay with your leader until you get checked out!
