所有这些地上的国都会过去，但神的国是永恒的。

点心建议： 给孩子们分发几颗不同颜色的糖豆，一边享用点心，一边提醒他们，神的国就像王冠上的宝石一样，满了许多爱耶稣的美好之人。

结束时的活动(5-10分钟)

在天国行进（游戏）

孩子们等待被家长接走时，让他们戴上自己制作的珠宝王冠，假装自己在天国行进。
选一个孩子做领队，其他孩子跟在后面，在房间里自由行进，例如绕过桌子、穿过椅子下方等。
不时更换领队，让行进过程充满乐趣，直到大多数孩子被接走。

All those kingdoms will only last for a while, but God's Kingdom is forever and ever. Practice saying this verse with the children several times now and at times during the rest of the lesson.

Gather the children around you for story time. After the introduction, read the Children's version of the story. As an option, you can read the story sbout Samuel anointing David directly from the Bible.

Introduction:What do you think it would be like to be crowned king or queen of a vast kingdom? Our story today is about a young boy named David. Although young, he was very very special in God's eyes. So special in fact that God decided to make him the new king of all his people.

CLOSING ACTIVITY (5-10 minutes)

Marching Around Heaven (Activity)

As the children wait to be picked up, have them wear their Crown of Jewels craft, and pretend to be marching in Heaven. Let one child be the leader and have the others follow behind as he or she marches around the room. Suggest they go wherever, under tables, around chairs, etc. Change leaders often to keep the march lively. Continue until most of the children are picked up.
