This week we heard.the parable of the Wedding Banquet from Matthew 22:1-14, in which a King invited people to a banquet for his son, but no one came. He then sent his servants out to invite everyone in the town instead. The lesson we learned is that God invites all of us to be in his kingdom, but not everyone accepts that invitation. By coming to church, reading our Bibles and coming to Sunday School, we are saying "Yes!" we want to accept God's invitation and be part of His kingdom.
Grades 3-5 played a "Will you accept the invitation?" beanbag toss game and earned more points if the beanbag landed in the "Yes" bins vs. the "No" bin. They got an extra point if they said, "Yes, and I'll bring a friend!" Grades 1 and 2 made kazoos and tambourines that they could play at the wedding feast. And the Pre-K group drew pictures of the types of foods they would want to eat at a wedding banquet.
