Before class, print out enough bread graphics so that each student has two graphics (two per page; template found here). Cut each page in two so that your students have one to keep and one to give away. (If your class is meeting online, email the template for families to print ahead of time. Invite students to bring printouts and pens/pencils to class.)

In today’s lesson, we heard how Jesus met the needs of five thousand people by miraculously providing them with food. All of Jesus’ miracles are amazing, but this is one that seems extra special because of how many people it affected all at once. 

• What are some important things we learned in our lesson today? (Students may comment that Jesus is able to meet all of our needs, that He is the Bread of Life, that there are different kinds of hunger and thirst, etc.)
• Other than things like food or shelter, what are some other needs that are met in Jesus? (Possible answers might include: Wisdom, guidance, strength, peace, forgiveness, eternal life, joy.)
• Can you think of a time when Jesus met your needs? (Be prepared to give your own examples to prompt discussion.)

Hand out bread graphics and pens/pencils (or invite students to have supplies ready at home). Ask your students to write out the memory verse on each of their bread graphics. Have your students think back over the lesson and how they might share it with someone who doesn’t know Jesus as Savior. Encourage them to hang their bread graphic in a spot that will remind them to keep their needs always before the Lord in prayer because He stands ready to meet those needs. Challenge them to share the other graphic with someone who needs Jesus.

Close in prayer.
