Introduction to GOOD TOUCH
Read: People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him
touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this,
he was indignant. He said to them, " Let the little children
come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs
to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive
the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."
(Children recite) And he took the children in his arms, put
his hands on them and blessed them. Mark 10:13-16 (NIV)
Teaching: GOOD TOUCH
As you probably know, we have five senses. We use these five senses
to give us information about the world around us. For example, if
I were to hold up a ball and ask you what it was, you would identify
it by using your sense of sight. If I were to ring a bell and ask
you what it was, you would identify it was by using your sense of
hearing. If I put a flower under your nose and ask you to tell me
what it was, you would know what it was by its smell. If I gave
you a sip of lemonade, you would know right away what it was because
of its taste.
One day, Jesus was teaching his disciples and a large crowd of
other people were following him to hear what he was teaching. He
was teaching about marriage and divorce and how God wanted them
to have happy homes.
As Jesus was teaching, people started to bring their children to
him so that he could touch them. The disciples didn't like these
children disturbing Jesus. They told the people to get the children
away. When Jesus saw what they were doing, he was very upset. "Let
the children come to me, and do not stop them," Jesus
said. " The kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these
little ones." Then Jesus took the children in his arms
and blessed them.
Let us hope that we will always remember that Jesus loved the children
and took them into his loving arms. We are thankful for each of
you who are here today and thankful that someone loved you enough
to bring you.

Introduction to BAD TOUCH
b. Learn a Bible Verse (5minutes)
She caught him by his cloak and said , "Come to bed with
me!" But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of
the house. Genesis 39: 12
c. Teach the Lesson (10 minutes)
The Bible tells us that lust so gripped Potiphar's wife that she
threw caution to the wind, she chatted him up encouraging him to
come to bed with her. Given her brazen forwardness, one might well
imagine that as the days went by, she grew more daring in her seductions.
Finally, when none of these tactics had worked, she arranged for
the house to be vacated except for herself and the man she had designs
on. The unsuspecting Joseph walked right into her trap. She rushed
at him wearing what we can only guess and grabbed him, presumably
to drag him to her bed if she could. The outcome resulted in Joseph
ending up in prison.'
Optional: View English video ' Joseph Story
Part 2'
Potiphar's wife acted very badly, she was married and should not
have had desires for Joseph, when she tried to entice him to go
to bed with her and he refused she grabbed him. This is a bad touch.
Everyone needs a Trusted Adult. Someone you can talk to who is
not your Mum or Dad. Even grown ups can ask you to do things that
are wrong. Sometimes they want you to touch them or want to touch
you where your underwear goes. If this happens you must tell your
parent or Trusted Adult. If an adult or even an older child asks
you to undress or touch them or shows you pictures or videos of
naked people you must tell your parent or Trusted Adult. It is not
your fault but you must "tell the truth and the Truth will
set you free"
