Supplies Needed: A Happy Meal
Key Scripture: Matthew 26:26-30, Mark 14:22-26, Luke 22:14-20, or 1 Corinthians 11:17-26
Theme: The Happy Meal we receive from Jesus is better than any fast food Happy Meal.
In this children’s sermon, kids explore the difference between the short-lived happiness of a McDonald’s Happy Meal and the lasting joy found in Communion, the “Happy Meal” Jesus gives us. A toy breaks, fries disappear, and the fun fades quickly—but the bread and cup we share in worship remind us of something far greater and everlasting.
Through simple storytelling and humor, children learn that Communion isn’t meant to fill our stomachs—it fills our hearts. Jesus gives us this sacred meal so we will remember His love, His sacrifice, and His promise to be with us forever. Unlike a toy that gets lost or a meal that’s gone in minutes, the joy Jesus gives never runs out.
Key Takeaway: A Happy Meal may make you smile for a moment, but Jesus’ Happy Meal—Communion—brings joy that lasts forever. Jesus fills our hearts with love, forgiveness, and eternal life.
