SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON PLAN FOR THE MONTH

Theme for the Month:

Do Unto Others – Teaching Love and Compassion

“Do to others as you would have them do to you.” – Luke 6:31

WEEK 1 – Understanding How Teasing Hurts

Topic: How Our Words Affect Others

Key Verse: Proverbs 12:25 – “Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.”

Story Focus: Rumbly is mocked because he wobbles and moves differently.

Bible Character: Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1–10) – He was very short, and people looked down on him.

Lesson Point:

Children will learn that teasing someone because they look or move differently really hurts. Jesus never mocked Zacchaeus—He welcomed him with love.

Prayer Focus: God, help us speak words that heal, not hurt.

WEEK 2 – Showing Compassion to Those Who Struggle

Topic: How Jesus Treats People With Disabilities

Key Verse: 1 Peter 3:8–9 – “Be compassionate… do not repay insult with insult.”

Story Focus: Rumbly asks Hartlie for help, and Hartlie responds with love and teaching.

Bible Character: The Bent-Over Woman (Luke 13:10–17) – Jesus saw her broken body and showed compassion.

Lesson Point:

Kids will learn how to react when they see someone in a wheelchair, wearing braces, glasses, or with differences. Jesus teaches us to move with compassion, not fear or disgust.

Prayer Focus: Lord, give me Your eyes to see people with love.

WEEK 3 – God Uses People With Differences

Topic: God’s Strength in Weakness

Key Verse: Galatians 6:10 – “Do good to all people…”

Story Focus: Hartlie teaches the sheep the Golden Rule and the truth.

Bible Character: Jacob (Genesis 32:22–31) – Walked with a limp but was still a warrior for God. 

Lesson Point:

Children will learn that God can use anyone—even those with disabilities—to do amazing things. Differences do not make someone weak in God’s eyes.

Prayer Focus: God, help me honor and respect every person You created.

WEEK 4 – Learning From Consequences

Topic: How God Feels When We Hurt His People

Key Verse: Luke 6:31 – “Do to others as you would have them do to you.”

Story Focus: The teasing sheep face consequences—they shiver in the cold after their prideful actions.

Bible Story Connection: John 9:1–3 – Disability is not a punishment; sometimes it shows God’s glory.

Lesson Point:

We learn that mocking or hurting God’s special ones has consequences. The sheep hurt Rumbly and ended up hurt themselves.

Prayer Focus: God, help me choose kindness every day.
