Sundae Sunday: Ice-Cream Themed Lesson/Family Event

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Host an ice-cream-themed Sunday service or family event that presents the gospel message through Psalm 34:8, which invites us to “taste and see” God’s goodness in our lives. It also emphasizes Jesus’ role in taking away our sins and how we can’t get rid of sin by ourselves.

Through interactive activities and an ice cream sundae object lesson, kids will learn how they can taste and see the goodness of the Lord in their daily lives and how we need Jesus to take away our sins. The lesson includes eye-catching graphics and printables to enhance the learning experience, and kids will love the games, activities, and ice cream craft.

Sundae Sunday is the sweetest lesson your kids will ever experience!

There are 2 options for using this resource:

1. On a Sunday morning as a fun break from your regular curriculum – It works great as a kick-off to the beginning of summer or as a celebration for the end of summer. In the U.S., the 3rd Sunday in July is always National Ice Cream Day, and this lesson is the perfect way to celebrate!
2. As a special event on a Sunday afternoon – Turn this lesson into a community family event. It could be as simple as an ice cream social with a short teaching time or as elaborate as a full-on event, using the small group activities and games as station options for families to participate in at their own pace.
