OPENER
CG: Gadgets and Gizmos Countdown
HOST: “Hey guys! How’s it going? Great day, huh?! Well, we are having a BLAST at Gadgets and Gizmos
talking about what it means to be uniquely wired and wonderfully made! Today we heard about how
Jesus healed a man who’d been blind since birth, but Jesus did that in a crazy, unique way! Does anyone
remember how Jesus healed the sight of the blind man? (take responses) Yes! That’s right!
Jesus spit in dirt to make MUD to heal the man’s sight. Kinda gross, but kinda cool, huh? But if that wasn’t
enough, Jesus forgave the man’s sins. The man trusted Jesus not only with being healed but also with his
entire life. And God made you to trust Him too—just like our bottom line says. How about we take another
look at that?
CG: Bottom Line Slide
HOST: “God made you to trust Him. It’s true, and we can trust God no matter what! When we read God’s
Word, we find all sorts of stories that tell us how God has helped people, healed people, kept His promises,
and sent Jesus to save us! And God hasn’t stopped doing stuff like that! Ask a family member or your Small
Group Leader. God does amazing things all the time to show just how much He loves us and how much we
can trust Him.

We were made to do amazing things, and one of those amazing things is to trust and have a relationship
with God! And speaking of doing amazing things, that sounds like a line from our theme song this week.
Let’s get the worship team out here and sing that together!
Worship Leaders enter and Host can stay on stage and sing with them.
THEME SONG
WORSHIP LEADER: “Awesome! I’m definitely up for singing “Wired” again! Ok, everyone! I want to see
your best dances and your highest jumps! Let’s worship God together and praise Him for loving us so much
to wire us to know Him! Let’s sing!”
SFX: “Wired”
Host enters as Worship Team goes back stage.
CLOSER
HOST: “What a great song to sing as we’re learning how God made us! You guys sounded great!
Let’s see how much money you brought today for Feed My Starving Children
NOTE: Host can do a big reveal however you decide works for your environment.
You can use the screens or have shoes that each represents a dollar amount.
Have fun and celebrate how much money the kids have raised.
Drum roll please! We raised _______ in one day! That’s _________ meals for kids who don’t get enough food
throughout the day. Way to go! Keep it up. We still have three days left. Let’s see if we can reach our goal!
Before we head out, let’s say our memory verse together. Check it out.

HOST AND KIDS: “Let your light shine so others can see it. Then they will see the good things you do.
And they will bring glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 (NIrV)
HOST: Awesome! God made us show His love to others and point them to Him! I’m so excited that
we get to do that with Feed My Starving Children, and help provide meals for kids who are hungry.
As for Gadget and Gizmo, well, I can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow. Have a great night and we’ll
see you tomorrow!
Dismiss children to their Parents.
