2. Print out Hospitality Charts.
3. Print out Shields.

Hospitality:

What is “hospitality”? Ask your children their first thoughts.

*Let the kids answer—possibly a child will say “hospital” . . . use the following analogy.

Think of a hospital. What do the doctors and nurses do at the hospital? They care for the people that are visiting. When we think of the word “hospitality,” we can remember we are the doctors of our home, or others’ homes when we are visiting.

Hospitality is more than being kind to those you know or people who visit your home.

* Pass out the Hidden Image Worksheet and let the children work on it while you read aloud Luke 10:25-37, the Parable of the Good Samaritan, and the other passages listed below.

Hospitality is an action we show toward those we love and those we do not love. How did the Samaritan show love to the hurt man?
