This week we talked about how Jesus called His disciples—His friends—to follow Him and share God’s love with others. It’s such a gentle way to show our kids that we’re not meant to follow Jesus alone. We do it together, just like the disciples did! Feel free to download the weekly checklist!
“Come, follow me,” Jesus said. – Mark 1:17
We used fish cutouts we already had (win!) and turned our laundry basket into a fishing boat. Add a stuffed animal or two and it’s a full-on toddler revival 😄
📚 Circle Time Recap
- Focus: Jesus invites us to follow Him together. We are a team!
- Flashcards:
- 🚶 Together
- ✝️ Follow (optional)
- Peace
- Song: “This Little Light of Mine”
- Activity: Pretend fishing game! Toss paper fish or cutouts on the floor and “catch” them with a paperclip and string pole, or just scoop them up and count.
- Mini Lesson: “Jesus called His friends to follow Him. He wants us to follow Him too—and help each other!”
🙏 Prayer Time
Dear Jesus, thank You for calling us to follow You. Help us walk together in love, and show kindness like You do. Amen.

Sometimes the call to “follow Me” doesn’t come during quiet devotions—it comes when you’re wiping peanut butter off the table for the fifth time or gently redirecting wild little feet. But even then, you’re discipling. Even then, you’re following Jesus—and inviting your kids to come with you.
