Leader Introduction

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

Today’s Bible story reinforces and expands the lesson from Lesson 1 about The Good Samaritan. Jesus told a powerful parable about a Samaritan man who showed compassion and mercy to a Jewish traveler who had been robbed and wounded by bandits. Children will learn the importance of showing God’s love to others, regardless of how different they seem.

*Scripture is quoted from the New Living Translation
