Pack the House Maze

Make copies of the Pack the House Page—one per child, plus extras.


Give a maze page and a pencil to each child. As the children work, lead a discussion using the questions below.

1. When the invited guests made excuses not to come to the feast, what two places did the angry master send his servants to invite others in their place? The back roads and fence rows.

2. What kind of animal did one of the invited guests say he had purchased? Oxen.

3. What did another invited guest say he needed to inspect? A field.     

4. Please fill in the blank. God wants His house to be _____. Full.  

5. What are some excuses people might make today for not coming to church? Too tired, only day to sleep in. Too busy with sports games or other activities, etc.

Allow the children to share their paths to the house.

Conclusion: God wants His church/house to be full—here and in heaven—for all of eternity. He invites everyone to come to Him and experience a life of joy here and forever through Jesus, His Son.
