Leader Introduction

Welcome students as they arrive with their parents.
OPTIONAL: As they arrive, play the song “Gold Nugget.”

Today’s Bible story reinforces and expands on the previous four lessons about the poor widow who gave two small coins worth less than a penny. Though it was a tiny amount, Jesus said she gave more than anyone, even the wealthy people. At Quantum Labs, Gears just gave generously to a worthy cause but that doesn’t mean he is happy about it! Children continue to learn about generosity: To cheerfully give and share what God gives you. Today’s lesson focuses on giving with a happy heart.
