Seen Around Church: Week of May 18, 2025
May 21, 2025By Director of Spiritual Formation Rebecca Guzman
Acts 16:9-15
- Story Time: Listen to a readaloud of Bear Came Along by Richard T. Morris. In this story, Bear meets new friends as he floats down the river. They discover life is better together. Paul also met someone new—Lydia—and shared Jesus’ love with her. Like Bear and his friends, Paul and Lydia learned that God brings people together to build joyful, loving communities.
- Pass the Message: Play “Pass the Message.” Whisper a short message like “Jesus loves you!” down the line. See how it changes—or stays the same! Talk about how the good news of Jesus spreads from person to person, just like it did from Paul to Lydia.
- Share the Love: Write or draw a message to someone you care about. It could be a card, a note, or a simple picture. Just like Lydia shared the message of Jesus with others, we can too—through words and kindness.
- Wondering Questions
- I wonder how Paul felt when he had his dream.
- I wonder why Lydia wanted to follow Jesus.
- I wonder how we can tell others about Jesus.
