Color this printout and then tell of how Jesus felt with his heart and looked with his eyes and found ways to help.(Karen Ashton, “Sharing Time: Look, Feel, and Help,” Friend, Jul 1996, 44) Then have the children find ways that they can serve that is easy and takes 15 minutes or less. And or Read this FYI article in the New Era,
“FYI: For Your Info,” New Era, Feb 1995, 34–37 it has really good ideas on how to serve easily. I think sometimes, when we teach about service, we make it seem like it has to be a huge deal like sacrificing all of your Christmas presents for another, less fortunate family. But these ideas will help teach our children to make a habit of service and let them know that it is easier than they might think.

Treat: Service with a smile have the person in charge of treats take orders, help make the order and then serve it up with a smile. I thought immediately of ice cream sodas, click here for recicpe For a strawberry ice cream soda, we just substituted strawberry syrup and strawberry ice cream but here is a strawberry ice cream soda recipe that looks really good, and a cherry vanilla one. And just think, these can be served on your service tray!
