Lessons about Hannah and Samuel on The Resource Room The following lessons are available on The Resource Room a subscription site. God Answers Prayers Sunday School lesson - In this lesson children learn that when they have a problem they should pray about it. God hears our prayers and sees our hurting. God knows what is best for us and answers our prayers in his own time and in his own way. We must learn to wait and trust God to carry out his plans for our lives. Activities - Children celebrate God's Answer to Hannah's prayer by having a baby shower. They draw pictures of presents they would like to give a baby and share their pictures with the class. They play baby shower games, sing songs, and play a game to remind them how God answers our prayers. Crafts: Color or make a picture of Baby Samuel with blocks - Children can color this picture or cut out the blocks and arrange them and Baby Samuel on another sheet of paper the way they would like them to be.

A Special Baby for Hannah
Written by Carolyn Warvel

Hannah wanted a baby.
She thought that just maybe
if she would pray and pray and pray
she would get one right away.

She begged and pleaded and cried
but no matter what she tried
there was no baby by her side.
She just wanted to run and hide.
Hannah had to wait and wait and wait
because God answers prayers at his own rate.
God had a very special baby
in mind for this very special lady.
This baby would be someone great
So Hannah had to wait and wait and wait.

Halloween

Christians are like Pumpkins - This lessons has nothing to do with Halloween except that it gives a new meaning to the pumpkin. It uses a pumpkin to explain how God removes the sin ""yucky stuff " and the "seeds" of doubt, hate, greed, and fear from the inside of us by the power of the Holy Spirit. And how we as Christians reflect the light of God from inside

Heart

A Heart Like Jesus'

What you will need: Red, black, and white construction paper, scissors, stapler.

What to do:

1. Cut 2 - 6" red hearts , 1 - 6" black heart, and
   1 - 6" white heart from red construction.
2. Write Psalm 139:23-24 & Psalm 86:11-13 on pieces of paper and glue them to the red hearts Assorted scriptures from the Bible referring to the heart to glue on the red hearts.
   Write Galatians 5:22 "But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." On a piece of paper and glue it to the white heart.
3. Write Ephesians 4:30-31 & 1 Peter 2:1 on pieces of paper and glue them to the black heart.
   "Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, brawling, slander along with every form of malice." "Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice, of all deceit, hypocrisy, envy and slander of every kind."
4. Layer the hearts red, black, white, red to make a book or make a chain with the hearts.

Show your children a piece of white paper. Emphasize that it is white and pretty. Tear the paper and tell them that this is kind of like what happens when you are mean to someone or say something mean to them. Their heart get damaged. We can tape it back together and still use it, but the paper is now marred because of the tear and the scar can still be seen or felt. We can say we are sorry but the damage is already done and the scar or pain from the ugly things we say or do are still in the heart of the person we said them to.

Moral: Be like Jesus and never have to apologize for what you say or do. (Sent in by Shelly)
