Story: Two Friendly Sisters (Luke 10: 38-42)

Introduce by talking about the importance of food and drink, but also how important it is to listen and have time for our friends.

Mary and Martha were sisters. One day Jesus and his friends went to their house.

“Come and have a meal with us” said Martha

Martha liked cooking. She bustled around, cutting vegetables, making bread and cooking a delicious meal. Martha wanted everything to be just right for Jesus.

Mary sat down with Jesus and his friends. She just wanted to listen to everything Jesus was saying.

Martha got crosser and crosser. “Jesus” she grumbled, “do you think it is fair that I am doing all the hard work while Mary is sitting doing nothing? Tell her to come and help me.”

“Martha” answered Jesus, kindly, “don’t get so worries and upset. Of course I am pleased you are cooking a special meal for us. But Mary knows that I enjoy spending time with my friends as well. Leave your work for a while. Come and sit down with us and talk to me instead”.
