Life Point: God shows people what to do.
Weekly Verse: God, You are great, and no one is like You. 2 Samuel 7:22

Materials: Bible, large geometric shapes cut from different colors of construction paper, markers or gel pens, hole punch, yarn, wooden or plastic embroidery hoops

• Mark the Weekly Verse in the Bible with a paper shape. Print the Life Point and the Weekly Verse on separate papers. Cut yarn into 12- to 15-inch lengths. 
• Briefly tell the Bible story as kids show interest in the activity. Comment that God helped David know how to defeat Goliath.
• Read the Life Point and the Weekly Verse from the papers. Tell kids they can make a mobile using the paper shapes. Guide kids to print one or two words of either the Life Point or Weekly Verse on separate shapes. Kids can punch a hole in each shape and tie a length of yarn in the hole. Assist in laying the other ends of the yarn across one part of the hoop. Add two more pieces of yarn for a hanger. After you assemble the two hoops, tie together the ends of the yarn.
• Encourage kids to put the mobile in their rooms to remind them that no one is like God.
