Remind the children about this introduction activity later in the lesson after they have heard the Bible story and do some further discussion if time allows. End the activity and call the group together to discuss the situation. Although some of the children to complete their work, but continually distract and interrupt some of the other children.

In the story of Jesus visiting Martha and Mary, we are reminded that Jesus wants us to look to him before anything or anyone else, yet our lives are full of distractions that get in the way of making him our number one priority. Jesus invites everyone to his table for forgiveness and renewal, especially those who are far from him or have forgotten his love, and his hope for us is that we would do the same for others.

For churches that regularly observe the sacrament of Holy Communion, each of these Bible stories and lessons can be connected to the story of The Last Supper and the belief that Jesus told us to eat bread and drink wine together and remember him.
