OK, friends! 1-2-3! Eyes on me! (Kids look at emcee) It’s great to see all of your eyeballs! My name’s ______, and I’m your emcee! Let’s vote on something. If you love meeting new people and making new friends, raise your hand. (Some kids raise their hands) Good to know. Now, moving on—listen up as our Konnect HQ friends talk about our Konnect rules!

I love to honor God with my offering! Now, let me read you today’s point: Be choosy when you’re choosing best friends. Say it with me loud and proud! (Together with kids) Be choosy when you’re choosing best friends. Great! Earlier I asked who likes meeting new people and making new friends—well, we’re about to meet some new friends right now at Konnect Headquarters! Let’s watch!

Wow. You really have to pay attention to see if you should be best friends with someone. Now, what if you realize someone you met makes a lot of choices that don’t honor God? Pray for them, continue to love them, and remind yourself of today’s point. Say it with me. (Together with kids) Be choosy when you’re choosing best friends. That’s it! That’s what you need to remember! Now, watch this quick video, and don’t forget to stay close to your small group leader while we worship God!

Those are some good rules, and participating in everything we do in here is a great way to follow them. It may even impress your small group leader! Or … You might even impress me! Which is a good thing, because we’ve got some offering to pick up. I’m checking right now to see who would be great at that! Watch our offering video, and I’ll choose a couple of kids! (Choose helpers.)

Chef Elaine learned a lot about how to meet new people and make new friends. Let’s give it up for her! (Woot and celebrate together with kids.) Making godly friends can bring us closer to God! Say our Bible verse about that with me. (Do motions and say in rhythm with kids) Proverbs 12:26 The godly give good advice to their friends; the wicked lead them astray. Great! Now let’s see how good everyone in your small group is at figuring out what kind of “fruit” people are growing!

Okay! Say the ABCs with me one more time! (Together with kids) Admit, believe, choose! If you want Jesus to be your leader, tell your small group leader and let your family know! I’m gonna pray for you guys. Bow your heads! (Kids and leaders bow their heads.) God, please help us make new friends who will help us live for You, and help us be good friends, too. In Jesus’ name, amen! Now stick with your small group until you get checked out!
