Rules

**Host** and **Co-Host** enter, dressed in overalls. The **Co-Host** is wearing a large coat with a hole in the pocket so that items put in the pocket will fall out. Thrift stores are a great option to find cost-effective props

**Host**

Welcome to the Train Station, Jr. Conductors! I hope that you are ready for a fun day with Conductor Carl and his friends.



**Co-Host**

I am super-duper excited to see all of the Jr. Conductors. I could use their help. I keep losing things today. Can you help me figure out why that is happening?



**Host**

Would you like to help, Jr. Conductors?



**Co-Host**

Do you see what I have? (Show the coins) Right, they’re coins. Watch the money go into my pocket.





Place the coins in the pocket. Then walk and show the money falling out. The **Co-Host** should appear not to notice the coins falling out. The **Co-Host** reaches into his/her pocket and finds nothing.





**Co-Host**

It disappeared again. I lost all of my money!



**Host**

Did you notice anything, Jr. Conductors? Let’s see what happens if you put something else in your pocket.





The **Co-Host** places small toys, like bouncy balls, into the pocket and walks around so that they fall out. The **Co-Host** looks down and sees the toys and coins on the floor.





**Co-Host**

Look at that! You dropped your coins, (**Host**). You are so silly.



**Host**

Did I drop those, Jr. Conductors? Who did? (Pause) It was you. I think we know why you dropped them. Can you tell him/her, Jr. Conductors? (Pause) You have a hole in your pocket. 



**Co-Host**

Oh my! That’s where everything went. I guess I have a holey pocket. Wait, I heard that Engineer Kelly is trying to learn about being holy. Should I show her my coat? 



**Host**

No, she’s learning about a different kind of holy. Maybe we can help Engineer Kelly discover the Big Point and we can learn about it, too. Let me hear a big, “Choo-choo!” 





Welcome

Worship

**Co-Host**

Engineer Kelly and Farmer Faith do seem confused about what Conductor Carl meant when he said that Jesus is holy.



**Host**

I think they might think that Jesus has holes in His pocket, like you did, but is that what Conductor Carl meant? Shake your head, “No.” However, our Big Point says that exact thing. Let’s practice the Big Point again, 

**Host**

**Jesus Is Holy!**



**Co-Host**

If it doesn’t mean that Jesus has holes in His pocket, like my coat did, what does “holy” mean?



**Host**

Jr. Conductors, “holy” probably isn’t a word that you hear a lot, but it is an important word that teaches us true things about Jesus. Let’s learn about how God is holy. What do you see in this picture?





Engage 1 Slides - MLJ JR L1 Engage 1 Slide A.jpg



**Co-Host**

That looks like the wind. Jr. Conductors, take a big, deep breath in and blow it out as hard as you can. (Take in a big breath and let it out)



**Host**

We need air to breathe and live, and yet the wind can be so strong that it knocks down trees. The wind is powerful. God is the same way. As the Creator of our world, God has the power to live on His own without any help. Look at this picture.





Engage 1 Slides - MLJ JR L1 Engage 1 Slide B.jpg

**Co-Host**

Do you know what that is? It’s Earth. That’s the planet where we all live. 



**Host**

God was here before this world even existed. It’s true! He created this world we live in. Let’s sing this fun song together.





Sing the first lines of “He’s Got the Whole World In His Hands.”





**Co-Host**

So, God is powerful, and yet He is good. He has existed forever! That’s a lot different from me, you, and the Jr. Conductors.



**Host**

That’s right. On top of that, Jesus loves us all, and He came to earth to help us. He didn’t have to do that. Jesus came because He wanted to help us. Let’s see if Engineer Kelly and Farmer Faith can discover more about Jesus.



Engage 1

**Co-Host**

Professor Beaker helped our friends learn more about Jesus.



**Host**

The more we learn about Jesus, the more it makes me want to be Jesus’ friend and follower. That’s why our Big Point is good news. Let’s say the Big Point again, 

**Host**

**Jesus Is Holy!**



**Co-Host**

I like the verse that Professor Beaker shared from the Bible. 

**Co-Host**

1 Peter 1:15 (NIrV) says, “The God who chose you is holy.”

 

**Host**

The Bible reminds us that God is holy. 



**Co-Host**

Think of it this way. Look at these two balloons.





Hold the balloons by a string attached to each of them, allowing them to touch.







**Host**

Are they touching? Yes, they are. We need two Jr. Conductors to help us. (Bring up two volunteers) Watch what happens to the balloons when we rub them on a fuzzy sweater. (To the volunteers) Can you help us rub them on the sweater?







Rub all sides of the balloon on the sweater. You can also rub them on hair to create a static charge in the balloons. Then let them fall again near each other. The negative charge in each balloon will repel the other balloon.





**Co-Host**

Jesus is holy. That means He can never do anything evil or bad. Jesus is only good, and He never lets anything bad around Him.



**Host**

Jesus just pushes bad stuff away. We know that Jesus will always be kind. We can become more like Jesus, too. He helps us push bad things away so we can make wise choices like He does.



**Co-Host**

In just a moment we will hear a true story about a time when Jesus showed His disciples something special. But first let’s stand and worship God.





Engage 2

Big Story Slides - MLJ JR L1 Big Story Slide 1.jpg

Let’s take a moment to thank Jesus for being holy. Worshipping Jesus is a really good way to show Jesus respect and to let Him know how much you love Him. 



Big Story

**Co-Host**

Engineer Kelly and Farmer Faith learned a lot about Jesus today.



**Host**

We did, too, when we learned the Big Point. Let’s all stand up and practice our Big Point again, 

**Host**

**Jesus Is Holy!**



**Co-Host**

Great job. You can sit back down. I’m sure that Peter, James, and John were surprised to see Jesus change on top of the mountain. Jesus made them feel safe when He put His hand on Peter’s shoulder and said, “Don’t be afraid.”



**Host**

You can tell your family about what you learned about Jesus when you do the Big Do this week. 

**Host**

Take some time to worship Jesus. You can use some of the songs we sing at the Train Station to help you worship.



**Co-Host**

Since we know that Jesus is holy, which means He is powerful, good, and kind, let’s think of some ways that Jesus helps us by being holy.





Show the pictures and help the kids think of how Jesus’ holiness helps us.



 - At bedtime: Jesus’ power helps us not be afraid.

 - With friends: Jesus’ kindness helps us love others.

 - At church: When we remember that Jesus is holy, it helps us want to worship Him.





**Host**

You did a good job today learning something new about Jesus. I think that we should clap for all our friends. Let’s say our Big Point once more, 



Engage 3

 - Did our Big Point say Jesus is full of holes or **Jesus Is Holy?**



 - Pretend that you are a scientist who uses a telescope to look at the stars and planet. Use your hands to make a telescope next to your eye. Tell me what you see in the sky. (Allow the kids to answer) Who helped Engineer Kelly and Farmer Faith learn about Jesus? **Inspector Nigel** What did they learn about Jesus? **He is holy**



 - I’m going to choose one of you to help. When I point to you, that means I choose you to give one of our friends a high-five. (Take turns choosing different kids to participate) 1 Peter 1:15 (NIrV), “The God who (forgot / **chose**) you is holy.”



 - What happened to Jesus on top of the mountain? **He changed and became bright and shiny** Can you cover your eyes like you see something bright? Were Peter and his friends surprised to see Jesus like this? **Yes** Can you tell me one way that Jesus being holy helps us?



 - What did Conductor Carl tell us to do in the Big Do? **Take some time to worship Jesus**

Big Review

Clean Up

Midweek / Classroom

Begin by splitting the kids into the desired number of Small Groups. Small Group Leaders, take a few moments to welcome your group. Afterwards, go over the rules of the room and talk about the positive reinforcement tool. 





Small Group Split

It’s time for us to visit our friends at the Train Station! Let me hear you say, “Choo-choo!” 

Welcome to the Train Station, Jr. Conductors! My name is Engineer (Insert your name). It’s always a good day to come to church! Today we will discover what the word “holy” means. Raise your hand if you have heard that word before. (Pause) We will visit Conductor Carl’s friends in a few minutes and find out more. First let’s play a game and try to find some holes. I will show a picture, and your job is to help me figure out which thing has holes in it.



Show the Icebreaker Slide and work together to find the items that have holes.



That was a lot of fun! Let’s go see who at the Train Station is looking for holes.

Icebreaker

Engineer Kelly and Farmer Faith are confused about what the word holy means. It’s not about having holes in your pockets. Our Big Point will help us understand. Let’s practice it together,

**Jesus Is Holy!**



Holy means that God is the powerful Creator of the Earth, animals, you and me! He has the power to live on His own, without any help! It also means that God never, ever makes a wrong choice. He is always wise and good! This is great news! Everyone, say, “Thank You, Jesus!” 



We know our Big Point is true because the Bible tells us so. Let’s play a game in our group and find out some true things the Bible says about Jesus who is holy.  





Small Group Leader,

Before Small Groups mark in a Bible the verses below to make it easy to find during the lesson. Cut out the pictures from the Engage 1 Activity to create a matching game. 



Play the matching game with the kids by placing the cut-out pieces upside down in the middle. Let each child take a turn. Whenever a child gets a match, read one of the verses in the Bible about Jesus’ holiness and explain it briefly (see explanations below).   



Acts 17:25 - Jesus gives everything life and needs nothing.

1 Peter 1:19 - Jesus never made a wrong choice. 

 Genesis 1:1 - God is the powerful Creator of the world.

John 10:30 - Jesus is holy because He is God.

John 6:38 - Jesus only did what God told Him to do.

John 3:16 - Because of Jesus we can be God’s friends and followers.







**Leader**

I am so thankful that Jesus came to Earth to help us. He is powerful, great, and He loves us very much! When we are Jesus’ friends and followers, He helps us to be holy like Him. I hope Engineer Kelly and Farmer Faith discover more about Jesus!



I’m glad our friends are learning more about Jesus. The more we learn about Jesus, the more it makes me want to be His friend and follower. Our Big Point helps us. Let’s all sing it together, 

Professor Beaker shared a true verse from the Bible. 

1 Peter 1:15 (NIrV) says, “The God who chose you is holy.” This verse tells us that God is holy. When Jesus came to the earth, He looked like a regular person, but Jesus is God, too. One time, when Jesus lived on the earth, He showed His friends His power by shining really brightly! We can’t make ourselves shine brightly, only Jesus could. 



In your Small Group, you get to color a picture with special markers. These markers won’t make any colors on your paper at first. But when we shine our special light on it, they will shine bright. This reminds us of our Big Story when Jesus shone brightly!   





Small Group Leader,

Color the Engage 2 Activity with the UV pen or marker. Give each child a turn. Then shine the light on the colors so that everyone can see it light up. Be careful to point the light in a way that it will not shine directly in a child’s eyes.









**Leader**

I’m excited to hear the story about how Jesus shone brightly! Everyone, turn on your listening ears as we hear this amazing story about Jesus. 



I’m so thankful that we know the truth about Jesus. Jesus loves when we tell Him, “Thank You” for being holy. Let’s do that now. Everyone, turn to your Small Group to pray. 





**Small Group Leader**

Everyone, bow your heads and close your eyes. Quietly say, “Thank You, Jesus, for being holy.” (Repeat 2x) Great job. Now I will pray for everyone. (Pray)  





I’m so thankful we all got to learn so much about Jesus today! Jesus loves to show us new things about Him. Jesus showed Peter, James, and John a special part of Himself on top of the mountain. When Jesus shone brightly, it showed Peter, James, and John our Big Point. Let’s practice it together, 

When we know the Big Point, it makes us want to worship Jesus! That’s the Big Do this week. You can sing a song to Him or even shout out loud, “I love You, Jesus!” Let’s do that together right now. Everyone say, “I love You, Jesus!” Great job! Let’s practice our Big Point one last time, 

Jesus Is Holy
