2. Back To School
• I hope you are all pretty
excited about going
back to school.
• One of the best things
about going back to
school is having new
school supplies.
• Look at the wonderful
new school items I have
here on the screen.
3. Back To School
• I’ve got some pens. I’ve
got a ruler for
measuring and making
straight lines.
• I have some nice new
crayons for drawing.
• Do you know what this
item is for?
4. Back To School
• Did you notice anything
that is on these items?
Yes, you’re right.
• Michelle put her name
on her pencils.
• That way if she shares it
with someone else they
can know it belongs to
Michelle and she can
get it back when they
are finished with it.
5. Back To School
• It’s important for us to
know what items belong
to us and what items
don’t belong to us.
• That’s petty important
but here is something
that is also important.
• When we head off to
school it’s important for
us to know that WE
belong to God.
6. Back To School
I Corinthians 6:19-20
19 Do you not know that
your bodies are temples
of the Holy Spirit, who
is in you, whom you
have received from
God? You are not your
own; 20 you were
bought at a price.
Therefore honor God
with your bodies.
7. Back To School
• In much the same way
that we mark things
that belong to us, God
has marked us (his
children) with the Holy
Spirit.
• Now we can’t see the
Holy Spirit but the bible
makes it clear that God
has placed his mark of
ownership on us.
8. Back To School
• If we are followers of Jesus
we belong to God and are a
part of his family.
• So children, I hope you
remember to put your
name on all the new school
supplies that belong to you.
• I hope you will also
remember that you belong
to Jesus Christ and God has
marked you with his Holy
Spirit.
9. Back To School
• Pray: Lord God, thank you for the many things
(especially our new school supplies) that belong
to us.
• Thank you too for the fact that we belong to you
and you have marked us with your Holy Spirit.
• Thank you that you will watch over us and help us
live for you during this new school year – In Jesus’
name, Amen.
