Hi kids! Welcome to Konnect! I'm so glad you're
here! My name’s _____ and I'm your emcee!
Guess what? We’re gonna talk about the right
way to ANSWER ANGER WITH LOVE! Say it
with me: ANSWER ANGER WITH LOVE! Before
we get started, my friend Nitro will explain some
important rules!
Giving Konnection
2
When you follow Nitro's rules and make choices
that put others first, your Small Group Leader
might give you a Dot sticker! If you get a Dot, you
can take it to the Good News Stand after we’re
finished, to get points and earn awesome prizes!
Okay! I’ll choose one friend from each team to
pick up the offering while we sit up straight and
tall and learn what offering is all about!
Point Konnection

It’s so great to be able to give to God! Now let’s
learn today's Point. It says, God’s love can turn
a frown upside down. Repeat it after me loud
and proud: God’s love can turn (pause) a frown
upside down. (pause) Super! I wonder who’ll
discover the Point on the Konnect Station this
week! Let’s watch and find out!
Verse Konnection
4
Wow! Mike was very patient with Alissa when she
was angry, and it helped her to calm down! Let’s
practice our Verse about that. Say it with me.
Proverbs 15:1 A gentle answer deflects anger,
but harsh words make tempers flare. Great job!
Now let’s do an activity in our small groups to see
what kind of words are gentle, and which ones will
make tempers flare!
Worship Konnection
5
Some of those harsh words would make a mad
person madder! But we can ANSWER ANGER
WITH LOVE to help people calm down! Tell your
neighbor, “ANSWER WITH LOVE!” (Pause)
Super! Let’s learn about worship!
Life Konnection

I’m so glad we have the ABCs of salvation to
make us right with God! Everything we’ve been
through means nothing without Him! If you want
Jesus to be your leaders, tell your Small Group
Leader, TODAY! Now it’s time to talk about what
we can DO this week to let Jesus change us to be
more like Him, and ANSWER ANGER WITH
LOVE, every time! Listen to your small group
leaders, and share what you’ve learned about
today!

Show me what a good audience looks like!
Fantastic! Participating in everything is a great
way to get Dot stickers from your Small Group
Leaders. When you get one, you can show it off
to your family so they know what a great job you
did AND you can take it to the Good News Stand
to get points for prizes! Now, while you learn what
offering’s all about, I’ll choose a couple of friends
to pick up the offering!

I love to honor God with my offering! Okay, let’s

mission. (pause) Way to go! Now get ready to
watch the Konnect space station crew learn the
Point, too!
Verse Konnection

Wow! By working together, the Konnect crew has
grown closer to God, closer to each other, and
stronger at sending out the message of God’s
Good News to all the kids in the world! Our Bible
verse talks about that. Let’s say it together.
1 Corinthians 12:27 Now you are the body of
Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
Great job! Now let’s do an activity that reminds us
to WELCOME everyone to God’s family!
Worship Konnection

Those swag bags are the PERFECT invite to
make your friends feel WELCOME to come be a
part of God’s family! WELCOME YOUR
FRIENDS! Tell your neighbor, “WELCOME YOUR
FRIENDS!” (pause) That’s good stuff! Now, let’s
say that Point together again. Together, we live
out God’s mission. YES! Now we can learn
about worship!

Say the ABCs with me: ADMIT, BELIEVE,
CHOOSE! If you want to start following Jesus
TODAY, let your Small Group Leaders know! I’m
so glad God kept it simple for us to get to know
Him! And once we know Him, God will help us to
change and grow so we want to work together to
fulfill God’s mission and make others feel
WELCOME to God’s family. Talk to your Small
Groups about who you can WELCOME this week!

Wow, we’ve got a great crowd of kids here today!
Welcome to Konnect! My name’s _____ and I’ll
be your emcee! Are you a kid who has friends
who help you SAY NO TO TEMPTATION?
(pause) Say, “SAY NO TO TEMPTATION” as
loud as you can (pause) Awww … you sound like
a bunch of old grandmas! Repeat after me: SAY
NO TO TEMPTATION!! (pause) That was better!
Keep that thought in your head as we watch Nitro
break down the rules!

Now how many rules were there? Show me with
your fingers! (pause) That’s right, four. When you
are the best example of following all four rules,
you might get a Dot sticker from your Small
Group Leader! And do you know what those Dots
are good for? (pause) They’re for Points at the
Good News Stand! Your Small Group Leader can
answer ALL the questions you have about that!
Now it’s time to show honor to God with offering.

It’s a good thing Mike and Cruz had Ray to help
them stay strong and say no to pushing that
button! Today’s Verse talks about that. Say it with
me: Ecclesiastes 4:12 Though one may be
overpowered, two can defend themselves. A
cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
You sounded brilliant! It’s time to see just how
strong sticking together can make you! Have fun
with your Small Group Leader! Get ready … get
set … GO!

Wow! Sticking together makes us WAY stronger
than when we try to face TEMPTATION on our
own! DON’T DO IT ALONE during this next week!
Say, “DON’T DO IT ALONE!” to your neighbor.

you’ve gotten Dot stickers from your Small Group
Leaders already! Now, watch this worship video
with me so we can all know about worshipping
God!

When I found out Jesus died for me to make me
right with God, I was surprised He loves me so
much! He wants to listen to and answer every one
of my prayers! If you want to follow Jesus, too, let
your Small Group Leader know, TODAY! Having
Jesus in your heart fills you with God’s Holy Spirit
and helps you to grow STRONGER in your
friendships with others who follow Jesus, too!
Don’t try to face temptation all by yourself! Go

with you kids! My name’s ____ and I’m your

to REST when we need it. Everybody say it with
me: REST! Aw, c’mon … you can say it louder!

us!

Great! You all listened so well to Nitro—and some
of you might even get a REWARD for your great
choices—a DOT STICKER! Your Small Group
Leader will be watching to see who they can pass
out Dot stickers to this week! Those Dots are
worth some SERIOUS points at the Good News
Stand. Now, I’ll pick two kids to pick up our

it is to stop everything and REST sometimes.

Wow. Clint had a HARD time letting go of his work
and sitting back, relaxing, and resting. Resting is
important to having the strength you need to do
what God wants you to do! Let’s say our Bible
verse about that together! Hebrews 4:11 So let
us do our best to enter that rest. … Great job!
Now, let’s play a game with our Small Groups
about needing REST!

It’s IMPOSSIBLE to be ready for God’s work if you
don’t get enough REST, because you’ll be worn

Let me hear all of you! (pause) Oh, I think Name a
Small Group was the loudest! Now look on the
screen to focus on worshipping God!

God gives us a lot of examples in the Bible about
how to live for Him, but without Jesus, we won’t
be able to do it. Let your Small Group Leader
know if you’re ready to ADMIT your sin, BELIEVE
Jesus died for you, and CHOOSE to depend on
God’s power to help you say, “No!” to sin! That’s
when God can change you and give you the
power to know when you need to REST. When
you’re rested, you’re better able to help others
and show them God’s love! Then they might want
to be part of Jesus’ family, too!

Hi kids! Welcome to Konnect! I'm so glad you're
here! My name’s _____ and I'm your emcee!
Today we’ll learn about the two things you can do
when you need help: ASK GOD, AND LISTEN!
Say, “ASK GOD, AND LISTEN” with me: ASK
GOD, AND LISTEN! Make it louder: ASK GOD,
AND LISTEN!! Great! Before we get started, my
friend Nitro will explain some important rules!

It’s so great to be able to give to God! Now let’s
learn today's Point. It says, When I need help, I
can go to God. Repeat it after me loud and

When God speaks, and we don’t listen, we don’t

GOD, AND LISTEN!” the loudest! Small Groups

straight and tall and learn what offering is all
about!
Verse Konnection

Wow. Everyone was really good at going to the
room and ASKING, but they had a lot of trouble
LISTENING for an answer. You have to do BOTH
when you go to God for His help! Now, say the
Verse with me: Hebrew 4:16 So let us come
boldly to the throne of our gracious God.
There … we will find grace to help us when we
need it most. Great job! Let’s see how strong our
ears are with our Small Group activity. How good
are you at ASKING AND LISTENING?

I’m so glad we have the ABCs of salvation to
make us right with God! Let your Small Group
Leader know if you’re ready to pray the ABCs and
follow Jesus! Everything we’ve been through
means nothing without Him! Now it’s time to talk
to our Small Groups about what we can DO this
week to show God that we ASK Him, first, when
we need help, and we LISTEN for His answer.
