## Introducing the Summer Family Night Challenge

Throughout the summer we have a unique opportunity to learn together as families. Our entire church, from preschool to elementary to adults, will be focusing on the same Bible passage each week. To make the most of this time, we are issuing the Summer Family Night Challenge! Here is what you need to do:

  1. Watch the Sunday message together as a family either online or in person. Find the Plano messages here.
  2. Set aside a night of the week to be your Family Night for the next six weeks.
  3. Visit the Plano Kids Kit page each week for videos, discussion questions and fun activity ideas that you can use to plan your Family Night.

Your two goals for your Family Night should be to have fun and have some intentional conversation around God's Word.

This Week's Lesson: Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet

For preschoolers, you may want to read from The Jesus Storybook Bible, "The Servant King" (p.286-292.)

John 13:1-20 NLT

Before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that his hour had come to leave this world and return to his Father. He had loved his disciples during his ministry on earth, and now he loved them to the very end. 2 It was time for supper, and the devil had already prompted Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. 3 Jesus knew that the Father had given him authority over everything and that he had come from God and would return to God. 4 So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him.

6 When Jesus came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

7 Jesus replied, “You don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.”

8 “No,” Peter protested, “you will never ever wash my feet!”

Jesus replied, “Unless I wash you, you won’t belong to me.”

9 Simon Peter exclaimed, “Then wash my hands and head as well, Lord, not just my feet!”

10 Jesus replied, “A person who has bathed all over does not need to wash, except for the feet, to be entirely clean. And you disciples are clean, but not all of you.” 11 For Jesus knew who would betray him. That is what he meant when he said, “Not all of you are clean.”

12 After washing their feet, he put on his robe again and sat down and asked, “Do you understand what I was doing? 13 You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you are right, because that’s what I am. 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. 15 I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you. 16 I tell you the truth, slaves are not greater than their master. Nor is the messenger more important than the one who sends the message. 17 Now that you know these things, God will bless you for doing them.

18 “I am not saying these things to all of you; I know the ones I have chosen. But this fulfills the Scripture that says, ‘The one who eats my food has turned against me.’ 19 I tell you this beforehand, so that when it happens you will believe that I Am the Messiah. 20 I tell you the truth, anyone who welcomes my messenger is welcoming me, and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming the Father who sent me.”

Family Night Discussion Questions:

  1. What is humility? How do you define humility? (Hint: It was our character trait for the month of May. Look here for a peek back at the definition.)
  2. What would washing feet have been like in biblical times? Why was washing feet the job for a servant?
  3. Why did Jesus wash the disciple’s feet?
  4. How do you think the disciples felt when Jesus washed their feet?
  5. Jesus is our greatest example of serving others. How can we follow His example to serve one another in our family?
  6. How can we follow Jesus’ example to others outside of our family?

Family Night Ideas for Fun:

  • Have a water balloon or Nerf battle (everyone participates, even parents!)
  • Go camping in your back yard and make smores
  • Build a fort in your living room
  • Play your family's favorite board games
  • Have dessert for dinner
  • OR choose your own fun activity

Week 4 Diligence Skit:

We hope you have enjoyed watching the skits each week as part of the Plano Kids Kit. Our elementary drama team worked hard to put these together and had a blast doing it.

As we are now transitioning our Kids Kit content to the Summer Family Night Challenge, below is the last episode of this "season." Enjoy watching how our characters finally get the "scoop" on Ms. Hearse and learn how God's work through us is never useless.

Diligence Definition: Consistently working with all my heart to bring glory to God
