Read Together
Mark 16:15 (ESV)
And he said to them, "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation."
Talk About It
Jesus gave His followers a special job: “Go into all the world and tell everyone the good news!” The good news (gospel) is that Jesus saves us from sin and gives us new life. Jesus wants every believer—kids and adults—to be part of His team, the church.
The church isn’t just a building—it’s all people who love and follow Jesus, working together to share God’s love with others. We each have a part to play, whether that’s showing kindness, praying for someone, serving, or telling others about Jesus. God gives each of us unique gifts so we can help others and help the church do God’s work.
By being part of the church, we help God’s story continue. When we love others, serve, and share the good news, we help more people get to know Jesus!
For Parents to Explain
Dear God, thank You for making us part of Your church. Help us to love and serve others the way Jesus did. Show us ways we can share Your good news. Amen.
Family Activities
Team Serve Challenge
- As a family, pick one way you can serve someone this week (make a card, help a neighbor, bake a treat, etc.).

- Talk about how everyone’s part made a difference.
- Pray for the person you served and ask God to use your act of kindness.
Build a Church
- Using blocks, Legos, or recyclables, work together to build a church building.
- Talk about how the real “church” is made of people, not just bricks or walls.
- As you build, name ways your family can be the church to others: pray, help, share Jesus, etc.
- End by praying, asking God to help your family be His church wherever you go.
