The concept of power holds significant importance in our world, as individuals constantly seek opportunities to acquire and exercise power in various aspects of life. However, this series aims to shift children's perspective on power, emphasizing that true power is best demonstrated through selfless actions for the benefit of others rather than oneself. Jesus serves as the perfect example, despite being the King of kings and Lord of lords, as He humbly washed the feet of others and prioritized serving rather than being served. Through Jesus, children can learn that trusting in Him grants them access to the power necessary to live a Christian life. The series commences with a special Easter lesson, setting the foundation for this understanding.

Welcome

**Host**
Welcome to the Train Station, Jr. Conductors! I’m so glad that you are here. 


**Co-Host** enters. He/she stumbles back and forth across the stage.


**Co-Host**
I’m here too!

**Host**
Be careful! You might hurt yourself.

**Co-Host**
I can’t be careful. I have to help the Jr. Conductors learn today’s Big Point.

**Host**
But you’re stumbling all over the Train Station.

**Co-Host**
That’s what we’re learning. I can stumble. 

**Host**
We’re not learning to stumble; we’re learning to be humble. If you are ready to learn with Conductor Carl and his friends, say a loud, “Choo-choo!” 



Hosts

Worship

Engage 1

**Host**
Lionel won the race. Would you like to race in a car like Lionel? Let’s say, “Vroom, vroom!”

**Co-Host**
Did Lionel make a wise choice when he said that he was the best race car driver? What about when he chose not to thank his dad?

**Host**
Yeah, that wasn’t very truthful. Lionel is not following our Big Point.

**Co-Host**
I think we should practice our Big Point together. Let’s stand up and put our hands by our ears, 



**Co-Host**
**I Can Be Humble!**

**Host**
Good job! You can sit down on your pockets. Humble is a big word that means to think of yourself and others the way God does. Humble people fill themselves up with the good words that God says about them. Those good words lift them up.

**Co-Host**
What if you use words that aren’t humble? 

**Host**
Let me show you. Saying true things like, “God loves me,” “God made me,” “God helps me do good things” is like filling this balloon with air. (Blow up a balloon) Look how it bounces. (Bounce the balloon up in the air) Pretend to bounce your own balloon.

**Co-Host**
If we say words that aren’t humble like “I’m the most important,” or “Everyone loves me the most,” or even “No one is better than me” then it’s like being filled with rocks. What will happen if I put rocks in this balloon? Let’s try it. (Fill a balloon with small rocks and then blow it up) 

**Host**
Yep, it crashed. Negative words pull us down, like this balloon. Humble words lift us up and please God. These words help us. Let’s see if Lionel says things that are humble or not humble.



Engage 2

**Host**
Was it humble when Lionel told Farmer Faith that she wasn’t important enough to hold his trophy? No, I’m glad Conductor Gordon shared the Big Verse to help Lionel understand the Big Point, 



**Host**
**I Can Be Humble!**

**Co-Host**
Let’s read the verse from the Bible.






**Co-Host**
Philippians 2:3 (NIrV) says, “Instead, be humble. Value others more than yourselves.”

**Host**
Valuable means that something or someone is important to you.

**Co-Host**
Let’s think of something most of us have that is valuable. Do any of you have a favorite toy or stuffed animal? (Show the stuffed animal and toy car) Let’s pretend to hug and squeeze a fluffy stuffed animal. Would you throw your favorite toy on the ground? Let’s pretend to throw it.

**Host**
No, that might break it. Would you stomp on it? Stand up and stomp. No way! Would leave it out in the rain? Let’s sit on our pockets and use our fingers to make raindrops.

**Co-Host**
If something is valuable, you treat it carefully. So, when we follow our Big Verse, we treat our friends, family, and anyone we meet as valuable.

**Host**
That means we won’t try to be the most important. Being humble means that you show everyone that they’re important, too, because we are all special and loved by God. Let’s stand and sing a worship song to Jesus.







Big Story

Big Story Slides - pu-ps-l2-big-story-slide-1.jpg

Jesus showed us how to be humble, and He gives us the power to make that choice. Let’s practice being humble by thinking about what our friends need. I want you to pray for your friend. Quietly ask Jesus to help your friends. You can do that now. (Pause) Good job. I’m going to be humble and pray for you.

Engage 3

**Host** and **Co-Host** enter. The stage is covered with various items such as toys, papers, boxes, etc. 



**Host**
I’m glad that Lionel told everyone how much his dad helped him. It was nice of him to let Engineer Kelly hold his trophy. He learned our Big Point, 

**Host**
**I Can Be Humble!**

**Co-Host**
Oh no, look at the Train Station. It’s mess. We didn’t make this mess, but I have an idea. What if we cleaned it up to help Conductor Carl?

**Host**
That would be a humble choice. Cleaning up someone else’s mess shows that person we love them.

**Co-Host**
Doing that would show that we don’t think that we are the most important. It reminds me of how Jesus washed stinky feet even when He didn’t have to.

**Host**
Would you like to help? Let’s choose some friends to help us clean up. Everyone else can help us by pointing to all the trash so we can clean everything up. 




Have kids help clean up the stage. Make it a fun, non-competitive game.

**Host**
You did a great job! I know that we will follow our Big Point,

**Host**
**I Can Be Humble!**


**Co-Host**
Let’s hurry over to Lionel’s garage. Farmer Faith is throwing a party to celebrate his big win.




Big Review

1.	Let’s Practice our Big Point again. Hmm, did our Big Point say **I Can Be Humble** or I Can’t Be Humble?

2.	Let’s pretend to drive a fast car. What color is your car? Turn the wheel. Make the sound of a car engine. Who won a big race today? **Lionel** Did Lionel choose a humble attitude, or did he brag about himself? **Bragged**

3.	Let’s wiggle our feet. Pretend to count your toes. How many do we have? Let’s pretend to smell our feet. Do yours smell good, or are they stinky? Who had stinky feet in our Big Story? **Jesus’ friends** Did Jesus’ friends want to wash each other’s feet? **No.**

4.	Pretend to pour some water on a dirty foot. Splash more water on it. Use your towel to dry it off. Who decided to wash everyone’s feet? **Jesus** Was that a humble choice? **Yes**

5.	Pretend to take a picture with your phone. What are you taking a picture of? Did Lionel ask Engineer Kelly to be in his picture? **Yes** Did Lionel tell everyone that his dad had helped him? **Yes** 

6.	What is your favorite toy? Do you take good care of it? It is valuable to you. What does our Big Verse say? Philippians 2:3 (NIrV), “Instead, be humble. Value others ____ than yourselves.”
a.	**More**
b.	Less
