Leader Introduction

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

Today’s Bible story reinforces and expands the theme from Lesson 1 about Daniel and his three friends. The four men chose to obey God’s law even when it meant defying the king’s order. In Rig’s workout room, Gears is enjoying his time with his new friend Rodney. But is his friendship causing problems with his other friends? Children will learn the importance of self-control: to resist temptation and do what you know is right.

*Scripture is quoted from the New Living Translation.
