To get class started today, I thought

it would be fun to . . .

OOPS!!!

Thank you to all those that

helped pick up the mess I made.

I want to thank you for taking an

opportunity to serve.

When we help others without

asking for something in return, it

is called “service.”

Let’s all say the word

“Service”

Together

Let’s sing all three verses of

“’Give,’ Said the Little Stream”

together.

"GIVE," SAID THE LITTLE

STREAM

1. "Give," said the little stream,

"Give, oh! give, give, oh! give."

"Give," said the little stream,

As it hurried down the hill;

"I'm small, I know, but wherever I go

The fields grow greener still."

Singing, singing all the day,

"Give away, oh! give away."


"Give, oh! give away."


STREAM

2. "Give," said the little rain,

"Give, oh! give, give, oh! give."

"Give," said the little rain,

As it fell upon the flow'rs;

"I'll raise their drooping heads again,"

As it fell upon the flow'rs.






STREAM

3. Give, then, as Jesus gives,

Give, oh! give, give, oh! give.

Give, then, as Jesus gives;

There is something all can give.

Do as the streams and blossoms do:

For God and others live.





Words: Fanny J. Crosby, 1820-1915

Music: William B. Bradbury, 1816-1868. Arr. (c) 1989 IRI

Jesus had called the Apostles to

help lead his church.

Let’s learn about a great service

that Jesus Christ performed at

the Last Supper.

Read it Watch it Hear it

It was not unusual for people to

have their feet washed, because

most people wore sandals and

their feet became very dusty and

dirty.

But usually a servant did this

job.

Peter did not want Jesus to wash

his feet because he thought it

was not right for Jesus to act as

a servant.

Jesus explained to the Apostles

that even though he was the

Savior, he still served them.

He wanted them to understand

that they should serve each

other.

Let’s read

John 13:15.

Read aloud

John 13:15.

15 For I have

given you an

example,

that ye

should do as

I have done

to you.

Jesus wants

us to follow

his example

and serve

others.

Why did Jesus

wash the

Apostles’ feet?

What did Jesus

want the

Apostles to do?

What does

Jesus want us

to do?

Jesus Christ wants us to serve

whenever we can, even if we are

not asked to help or are not

rewarded for our help.

When we serve other people, we

are following Jesus.

Listen to the following story of a

young boy who thought of a way

to serve his family.

“It was so dark that the sleepy seven-year-old

boy could hardly find his way down the path to

the barn. He had planned for days how he

could get out of bed, dress, creep quietly down

the stairs, take the milking bucket from the

pantry shelf, and leave the house without

waking anyone.

“… [Joseph] had seen his sister, Mary, milk the

cow many times. He found it wasn’t as easy as

he thought it would be. … Before long his

fingers and wrists ached. He had to stop often

to rest them. …

“The boy was so intent on milking that he did

not realize how long it had taken, and was

surprised to find that daylight had come …

when he finally left the barn and started for the

house. As he entered the kitchen, Mother

looked up from the stove where she was

preparing breakfast, and asked, ‘Why, Joseph,

what have you been doing so early in the

morning?’

“He held up the filled milk bucket in answer,

and felt a warm rush of joy at his mother’s

smile of approval. ‘Well,’ she said, ‘since it

seems you are big enough, milking each

morning will be your job.’ She paused and then

questioned, ‘But why is it you were so anxious

to milk that cow?’

“Joseph lifted an earnest face to his mother as

he answered, ‘I just want to help while Father

is on his mission. And you see, [Mary] has so

many other things to do, I thought if I could

take care of the morning milking, she wouldn’t

have to worry about that!’

“… His mother put her arms around him and

held him close as she said, ‘How pleased your

father will be when I write and tell him that he

has a fine young man to take care of milking

the cow while he is away!’” (Lucile C. Reading, “The Morning Chore,” Children’s

Friend, Apr. 1970, p. 23).

This young boy’s

name was Joseph

Fielding Smith, and he

became the tenth

President of the

Church when he grew

up.

How did Joseph

Fielding Smith

serve?

Whom did he

serve?

The thirteenth article of faith

says that we believe in serving

others.

Let’s all stand and say the

thirteenth article of faith

THIRTEENTH ARTICLE OF FAITH

13 We believe in being honest, true,

chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing

good to all men; indeed, we may say that

we follow the admonition of Paul—We

believe all things, we hope all things, we

have endured many things, and hope to be

able to endure all things. If there is

anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report

or praiseworthy, we seek after these

things.

Stand up if you want to be a

disciple (follower) of Jesus

Christ and remain standing.

Remember that Jesus wants all

his disciples to serve others.

How can we

serve others?

Who is happy

when we serve?

When we serve others, not only

are the people we help happy,

but we are happy too.

Why does it

make you

happy to serve

others?

I FEEL MY SAVIOR'S LOVE

1. I feel my Savior's love

In all the world around me.

His Spirit warms my soul

Through ev'rything I see.

He knows I will follow him,

Give all my life to him.

I feel my Savior's love,

The love he freely gives me.


2. I feel my Savior's love;

Its gentleness enfolds me,

And when I kneel to pray,

My heart is filled with peace.






3. I feel my Savior's love

And know that he will bless

me.

I offer him my heart;

My shepherd he will be. He knows I will follow him,





4. I'll share my Savior's love

By serving others freely.

In serving I am blessed.

In giving I receive.

Can you picture this?

Think of Simple Acts of Service

you could do today and draw a

picture of it.

TESTIMONY

I want to testify to you that true happiness

comes from serving others.

The feeling you get knowing you helped

someone else in fantastic.

I want to encourage you to watch for ways

you can serve others this week and tell us

about them next

p2-39 Jesus wash his diciples feet.wmv

JOHN 13:1–17

1 Now before the feast of the passover, when

Jesus knew that his hour was come that he

should depart out of this world unto the Father,

having loved his own which were in the world, he

loved them unto the end.

2 And supper being ended, the devil having now

put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son,

to betray him;

3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all

things into his hands, and that he was come from

God, and went to God;

JOHN 13:1–17

4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his

garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

5 After that he poureth water into a basin, and

began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe

them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter

saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do

thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know

hereafter.

8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash

my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not,

thou hast no part with me.

JOHN 13:1–17

9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet

only, but also my hands and my head.

10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth

not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit:

and ye are clean, but not all.

11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore

said he, Ye are not all clean.

12 So after he had washed their feet, and had

taken his garments, and was set down again, he

said unto them, Know ye what I have done to

you?

13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well;

for so I am.

JOHN 13:1–17

14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed

your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s

feet.

15 For I have given you an example, that ye

should do as I have done to you.

16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is

not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent

greater than he that sent him.

17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do

them.

JOHN 13:1–17
