Lesson:

New Creation: Like a caterpillar sheds its old body to become a new creation, a butterfly. So must we shed our old sinful ways and become a new creation in Yeshua.  Need: Change bag(around $20 at your local magic store), fake caterpillar and butterfly

Quick Change Artist-When we ask Yeshua to be in our life, He changes us immediately into new beings.  We are born again to walk a new and changed Spirit filled life.
Need: 2 large shirts, 2 hats, 2 pairs of gloves  http://www.kidssundayschool.com/Gradeschool/Games/1game10.php

Be sweet- This kool-aid looks yummy,(have a volunteer try it without sugar) Now that didn’t taste very good..huh? When we add the sugar it is changed into something delicious that most of us enjoy drinking.  Something very similar happens when we believe in Yeshua and make Him our Lord and Saviour.  Without Yeshua, we are yucky like unsweetened Kool-Aid, but with Yeshua we change into a new person that is kind and sweet J   Need: Kool-aid packet, clear pitcher of water and sugar(labeled Yeshua)


Memory Verse: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation..”  2 Corinthians 5:17a
