UNITOTS (3 - 4 year olds):  

Who LOVES bubbles!  I know I do.

This lesson is called "Energy" from "I Came from Joy" by Lorna Ann Knox

Theme:  God's energy and power are within me

Object: The Thoughts we hold in our mind, produce our world - Principle #3

Lesson:  Think Energetically

Materials Needed:  butcher paper or newspaper, two colored markers.

First, Have the children say a negative affirmation "I'm too tired"

Tape the buter paper/newspaper to the wall.  Next have each child stand next to the butcher

paper and jump as high as they can.  With one colored marker, place the child's name on the paper

where they jumped.

Next, Have the children say a positive affirmation "God's power and energy are within me."

With the second colored marker, have each child stand next to the butcher paper and jump as high as they can 

and mark each childs name.

Compare to see if the children jumped higher after they stated the positive affirmation.

How did the energy flow through each child after the negative and positive affirmations?

Song for the Lesson:  Alive, Alert, Awake - Traditional

UNIKIDS (kindergarten to fifth grade):  

Affirmation:  "The Power of God is within Me."

Parable of the Lamp - Matthew 5:14 - 16, Mark 4:21 - 25, Luke 8:16 - 18

Parables of Jesus

Spiritual Principle:  We are the presence and light of God.  Through our thoughts, words and actionser

we let our light and God awareness shine into our relationships, situations and the world.  Whatever is held in mind

will be experienced on some level.

Song:  This Little Light of Mine"

Object Lesson:  Using a lighted candle and two mirrors, set the mirrors so that they reflect the candlelight to each other.

Observe with the children the multiple reflections of the one candle flame.  Note that others are like mirrors of our light.  When we

shine out, we multiply God's love and light in our world.

MOVING MEDITATION

Light a candle, and play music that evokes meditative dancing.  Look at the candle for a minute.  Look at the flame, how it is shaped, how it moves. 

Close your eyes and see that flame in your imagination.  Let's pretned that we are the candle flame.  Spread out a little and make your body into a candle

flame.  Show it on your face, with your arms and the shape of your body.  Move like the flame.

Is your flame gentle or blazing?  Does it move?  How does it feel?  Is it bright and glowing?
