Hello Minja, how old are you? I'm 12.
How does Jesus affect your daily life?
I read the bible, I pray and I don't swear .
Do your friends know that you're a believer?
Yes they do. How do they react to that?
Most of them positively. Thank you.
Hello Fanni, what are we dancing today?
'We Want to See Jesus Lifted High'
We're not performing, we're dancing for God.
Awesome!
'We want to see Jesus lifted high' starts like this- click fingers
during the introduction
If you can't click fingers then just pretend.
Otherwise click your finger like this.
Then there's a trumpet blast, we do a little jump like this -
and then we run a small circle 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
Then another small jump and again 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
We want to see Jesus lifted high.
A banner that flies across the sky.
Ok, let's do it again.
We want to see Jesus lifted high.
Remember to look up! -A banner that flies across the sky.
That all men might see the truth and know.
Ok, let's do it again.
Truth, on your left side, both hands together and celebrate yeh!
That all men might see the truth and know. One hand is behind your back.
That He is the way to heaven. Your right foot taps like this.
At the same time raise your hand.
That He is the way to heaven. Ok, let's do it again.
We want to see Jesus lifted high.
A banner that flies across the sky.
That all men might see the truth and know.
That He is the way to heaven.
Then we jump to the side.
We want to see. "clap, clap, clap"
We want to see " clap, clap, clap" We want to see Jesus lifted high.
And again - We want to see "clap, clap, clap"
We want to see"clap, clap, clap" We want to see Jesus lifted high.
So it goes - 1, 2, 3, bam, bam, Yes!
Let's try with the music.
We want to see Jesus lifted high. A banner that flies across the sky.

We want to see. We want to see. We want to see Jesus lifted high.

'Head' - so the last time you do 1, 2, 3, bam, bam, then -
tip your head back. Then we get to the next section.
Which starts with your right foot. Step by step, we're moving forward.
So it's right-left-left-right.
Little by little, taking ground.
Then it's - Every prayer a powerful weapon.
Let's take it again from the beginning.
Step by step, we're moving forward.
Little by little, taking ground.
Every prayer a powerful weapon.
Then it says 'strongholds' - face the corner.
Strongholds come tumbling down,
and down and down and down.
Then jump. It goes - Strongholds come tumbling down,
and down and down and down.
And jump. We do it again from: We want to see Jesus lifted high.
Let's try this part without music. Step by step, we're moving forward.
Little by little, taking ground.
Every prayer a powerful weapon. Strongholds come tumbling down,
and down and down and down.
Yes! Now let's try it with music.
Step by step, we're moving forward. Little by little, taking ground.
Every prayer a powerful weapon. Strongholds come tumbling down.

Matias, come and eat. - I don' t feel like it. Why not? Come on.
Let me be! I don't feel like eating.
Why not? Don't you have any food?
Hasn't anyone taken care of you?
Wait a minute.
I can give you my apple.
And I can give my chips.
My Mother made me 2 sandwiches, I'll just check

Do you remember when you started to pray?
I must have prayed the first time,
as very young at playschool.
Today we're praying in 2 groups. Come and join me in this group.
Today we talk about giving thanks. It's an important part of prayer.
What do you thank God for? Maris, please answer first.
I thank for my home, friends, pets and food.
I thank Him for friends, family and having had a good day.
For all my relatives, family, friends and those kinds of things.
Well, friends and also for clothes
and if we've had nice weather.
Friends and grandparents.
I give thanks for Jesus being raised from the dead.
For life, health, family.
Good, why do you think it's important to thank God?
What does Meri think?
Because nothing is self-evident.
What about the others? Why is it important to thank God?
Fanni. -Well, it' s not nice if we complain all the time.
It's true. Do any others have good reasons to thank God?
I think it's important because God is really good.
God deserves to hear thanks.
It's good and right to give thanks to God.
And now we can do that.
Let's thank God together.
We could start our prayer saying thank you Jesus for ...
Let's do it like this -
I'll start and then you have a turn to thank God.
Also those of you at home watching can thank God.
Thank you Jesus that you love us
for being so good to us.
All good things in life come from You. Thank you Jesus
that we were all able to come today no-one is ill, we are healthy.
Thank you Jesus for my wonderful friends.
Thank you Jesus for good health.
Thank you Jesus for having clothes.
Thank you Jesus for my friends and grand-parents.
Thank you Jesus that you died for us.
Thank you Jesus for all the good things You've given us.
Now it's your turn.
Let us now pray the Lord's blessing for each other, for the week ahead.
The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make His face shine upon you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face towards you and give you peace.
In the name of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Amen. (Numbers 6: 24-26)
It was really great that you joined us! See you again next week.
Then we'll dance.... 'Faith'
Now we'll dance the one we practiced! "We want to see Jesus lifted high."
