Welcome (1 minute)
Hello, everyone! Today we’re going to see the Superbook story, “The Last Supper.” Our Superbook story will help us learn to be humble and serve others as Jesus did. To be humble means not thinking too highly of yourself and to put others first. Let’s begin by seeing what our friend Chris is doing with his band today, then tell me if you think he is being humble.
Play Video 2: Chris and Joy’s Dilemma (3 minutes)
Chris and Joy's Dilemma
Chris wants his friends to treat him like a rock star when his band is invited to audition for a TV show.
SuperTruth and Discussion (2 minutes)
Was Chris being humble?
Why not? He called himself “king.” He acted like he was more important than his friends.
How do you think Chris’ friends were feeling toward him?
Do you think God is pleased when we act like Chris?
Today’s SuperTruth says, “Jesus humbled Himself and became a servant.” Jesus gave up His divine privileges and came to Earth to serve, not to be served! He did this because He loves us!
Now let’s watch the rest of today’s Superbook video.

Bible Story and Resolution
Superbook takes Chris, Joy and Gizmo to Jerusalem, where crowds cheer as Jesus enters the city on a donkey. When Jesus washes His disciples’ feet, they learn that greatness in God’s kingdom means serving others.

SuperVerse (1 minute)
Let’s say our SuperVerse, Philippians 2:6–7a, together:
Though He was God, He did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, He gave up His divine privileges; He took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being.
Jesus laid aside all He had in heaven to come to Earth to be born a baby and humbly serve.
Children will have more time to learn the SuperVerse in Small Group.
Prayer and Send-Off (1 minute)
Dear Jesus, thank You so much for Your humble service. You gave us an example to follow as we live our lives each day. In Your name we pray, Amen.
Today in Small Group, you’ll play a game about serving others like Jesus did. Are you ready to go serve? Have a great time.
Teachers take children to Small Group classes for Grades 1–3 and 4–6. If the combined group is small, all children may stay together for Small Group time.
