There is a name and a purpose for all things around us…including people! God loves each and every one of us, and has a unique plan for our lives. This lesson uses everyday tools to discuss purpose in relation to human purpose. Recount the story of God’s call to Samuel to remind students that He calls all of us to serve Him. 

We have special roles and meanings in our lives, and those come from God. He loves us and knows us, and calls us by name. We are His. We can count on God’s plans and promises, because He has already fulfilled all of His promises to us in Christ.  He will be faithful to fulfill His will in our lives and  use us to serve one another.
