(All printables for this sharing time can be found and printed by clicking the "Free Printable Download" button. They are free and can be printed and used for personal and church purposes) Sharing Time Instruction: Begin by following up with the primary children with what they learned last week. Show the primary children the week's them poster and invite them to repeat, "When I serve other I serve God." Show the primary children a picture of President Uchtdorf, explain that in May 2010 General Conference he told the following story, "A story is told that during the bombing of a city in World War II, a large statue of Jesus Christ was severely damaged. When the townspeople found the statue among the rubble, they mourned because it had been a beloved symbol of their faith and of God’s presence in their lives. Experts were able to repair most of the statue, but its hands had been damaged so severely that they could not be restored. Some suggested that they hire a sculptor to make new hands, but others wanted to leave it as it was—a permanent reminder of the tragedy of war. Ultimately, the statue remained without hands. However, the people of the city added on the base of the statue of Jesus Christ a sign with these words: “You are my hands.” We Are the Hands of Christ There is a profound lesson in this story. When I think of the Savior, I often picture Him with hands outstretched, reaching out to comfort, heal, bless, and love. And He always talked with, never down to, people. He loved the humble and the meek and walked among them, ministering to them and offering hope and salvation. That is what He did during His mortal life; it is what He would be doing if He were living among us today; and it is what we should be doing as His disciples and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On this beautiful Easter morning, our thoughts and hearts are drawn to Him—the Hope of Israel and the Light of the World. As we emulate His perfect example, our hands can become His hands; our eyes, His eyes; our heart, His heart." Give each of the primary children the Service printable (see free download below). Explain that last week we learned about serving others and that when we serve others we serve God. Explain to the primary children that we too can be "His Hands" as we serve those around us. Invite the primary children to think about ways they have served others throughout the week, or ways they can serve other throughout the up coming week. Invite the primary children to draw picture of the ways they can serve other and be the Savior's hands. When the children are done coloring, invite some of the primary children to come up and share what they have drawn about being the Savior's hands. Close by sharing your testimony of serving others and being the Savior's hands. *************************** Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope that these ideas were helpful.

I brainstormed some ways my kindergarten through fifth graders can serve. Here are some ideas I have come up with.

Waiting on God can feel endless, but it doesn't have to be! Discover 7 powerful ways to grow your faith and embrace the wait, from active prayer and worship to serving others and cultivating gratitude. Dive into scripture and seek Godly counsel. Embrace the journey, strengthen your trust, and prepare for the beautiful unfolding of God's plans. In the stillness, there's learning, and in the wait, there's wisdom. His timing is perfect, and His blessings are worth it.

When Samuel was a boy, he was serving in the place of worship. One night God spoke to Samuel and Samuel was obedient to God. These God Spoke to Samuel Bible Activities will help children understand that God still speaks to people today through the Bible and through His Spirit.

The Verse: "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" Source: Joshua 24:15

These Bible verses about serving others help us to understand that we cannot love God apart from loving people. We serve God by serving others.

Scripture Reference: Genesis 22:1-18; Hebrews 11:17-19 Suggested Emphasis or Theme: We should be willing to give up (sacrifice) anything if it will help us to serve God better. Memory Verse: “…

This week's bible story was about Hannah. For those who don't know, Hannah was Samuel's mother. Her story is a story of faithfulness and trust in God. In short, Hannah was one of two wives to Elkanah, and Peninnah was the other wife. Hannah did not have any children, while Peninnah did, and back then, how many children you had was a big deal. For many years, Hannah prayed to God about becoming pregnant. She actually prayed so hard that she could not eat, and another time, she prayed so hard the priest thought she was drunk...Hannah even made a promise to God that if He gave her a son, she would have her child serve God for all of his days. After all this time of praying, Hannah became pregnant, and later, she gave birth to Samuel. Once Samuel was old enough, Hannah indeed turned him over to serve God. Even though she was giving up her baby, something she prayed for years about to the point that she was sick over, she still praised God. She still praised him for being holy. You can read her whole prayer in 1 Samuel 2, and more about her conceiving Samuel in chapter 1. Originally, I had this craft in mind, but I could not find the printable for Hannah. My artistic abilities are not that extensive, so I settled with this. We made prayer books with things we can pray about. Super easy if you can't tell, and it sparked great conversation with the kids. On the inside, we had 4 pages with 3 of them being things that they can pray for. ' We put things like my family, my friends, and my church, and had them illustrate who/what they were praying for. To make the hands, I just traced a rough, slightly larger mitten shape of my hand and cut it out on 5 different colors to make it a little more appealing to the eye. For the words to the book, I uploaded the file here and you are more than welcome to use it in your book. Super easy, and a great discussion starter that can also serve as a reminder to both us and them to pray about everything. xox, lauren
