To get class started today, I thought
it would be fun to . . .
OOPS!!!
Thank you to all those that
helped pick up the mess I made.
I want to thank you for taking an
opportunity to serve.
When we help others without
asking for something in return, it
is called “service.”
Let’s all say the word
“Service”
Together
Let’s sing all three verses of
“’Give,’ Said the Little Stream”
together.
"GIVE," SAID THE LITTLE
STREAM
1. "Give," said the little stream,
"Give, oh! give, give, oh! give."
"Give," said the little stream,
As it hurried down the hill;
"I'm small, I know, but wherever I go
The fields grow greener still."
Singing, singing all the day,
"Give away, oh! give away."
Singing, singing all the day,
"Give, oh! give away."
"GIVE," SAID THE LITTLE
STREAM
2. "Give," said the little rain,
"Give, oh! give, give, oh! give."
"Give," said the little rain,
As it fell upon the flow'rs;
"I'll raise their drooping heads again,"
As it fell upon the flow'rs.
Singing, singing all the day,
"Give away, oh! give away."
Singing, singing all the day,
"Give, oh! give away."
"GIVE," SAID THE LITTLE
STREAM
3. Give, then, as Jesus gives,
Give, oh! give, give, oh! give.
Give, then, as Jesus gives;
There is something all can give.
Do as the streams and blossoms do:
For God and others live.
Singing, singing all the day,
"Give away, oh! give away."
Singing, singing all the day,
"Give, oh! give away."
Words: Fanny J. Crosby, 1820-1915

Jesus had called the Apostles to
help lead his church.
Let’s learn about a great service
that Jesus Christ performed at
the Last Supper.
Read it Watch it Hear it
It was not unusual for people to
have their feet washed, because
most people wore sandals and
their feet became very dusty and
dirty.
But usually a servant did this
job.
Peter did not want Jesus to wash
his feet because he thought it
was not right for Jesus to act as
a servant.
Jesus explained to the Apostles
that even though he was the
Savior, he still served them.
He wanted them to understand
that they should serve each
other.
Let’s read
John 13:15.
Read aloud
John 13:15.
15 For I have
given you an
example,
that ye
should do as
I have done
to you.
Jesus wants
us to follow
his example
and serve
others.
Why did Jesus
wash the
Apostles’ feet?
What did Jesus
want the
Apostles to do?
What does
Jesus want us
to do?
Jesus Christ wants us to serve
whenever we can, even if we are
not asked to help or are not
rewarded for our help.
When we serve other people, we
are following Jesus.
Listen to the following story of a
young boy who thought of a way
to serve his family.
“It was so dark that the sleepy seven-year-old
boy could hardly find his way down the path to
the barn. He had planned for days how he
could get out of bed, dress, creep quietly down
the stairs, take the milking bucket from the
pantry shelf, and leave the house without
waking anyone.
“… [Joseph] had seen his sister, Mary, milk the
cow many times. He found it wasn’t as easy as
he thought it would be. … Before long his
fingers and wrists ached. He had to stop often
to rest them. …
“The boy was so intent on milking that he did
not realize how long it had taken, and was
surprised to find that daylight had come …
when he finally left the barn and started for the
house. As he entered the kitchen, Mother
looked up from the stove where she was
preparing breakfast, and asked, ‘Why, Joseph,
what have you been doing so early in the
morning?’
“He held up the filled milk bucket in answer,
and felt a warm rush of joy at his mother’s
smile of approval. ‘Well,’ she said, ‘since it
seems you are big enough, milking each
morning will be your job.’ She paused and then
questioned, ‘But why is it you were so anxious
to milk that cow?’
“Joseph lifted an earnest face to his mother as
he answered, ‘I just want to help while Father
is on his mission. And you see, [Mary] has so
many other things to do, I thought if I could
take care of the morning milking, she wouldn’t
have to worry about that!’
“… His mother put her arms around him and
held him close as she said, ‘How pleased your
father will be when I write and tell him that he
has a fine young man to take care of milking
the cow while he is away!’” (Lucile C. Reading, “The Morning Chore,” Children’s
Friend, Apr. 1970, p. 23).
This young boy’s
name was Joseph
Fielding Smith, and he
became the tenth
President of the
Church when he grew
up.
How did Joseph
Fielding Smith
serve?
Whom did he
serve?
The thirteenth article of faith
says that we believe in serving
others.
Let’s all stand and say the
thirteenth article of faith
THIRTEENTH ARTICLE OF FAITH
13 We believe in being honest, true,
chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing
good to all men; indeed, we may say that
we follow the admonition of Paul—We
believe all things, we hope all things, we
have endured many things, and hope to be
able to endure all things. If there is
anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report
or praiseworthy, we seek after these
things.
Stand up if you want to be a
disciple (follower) of Jesus
Christ and remain standing.
Remember that Jesus wants all
his disciples to serve others.
How can we
serve others?

Who is happy
when we serve?
When we serve others, not only
are the people we help happy,
but we are happy too.
Why does it
make you
happy to serve
others?

JOHN 13:1–17
1 Now before the feast of the passover, when
Jesus knew that his hour was come that he
should depart out of this world unto the Father,
having loved his own which were in the world, he
loved them unto the end.
2 And supper being ended, the devil having now
put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son,
to betray him;
3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all
things into his hands, and that he was come from
God, and went to God;
JOHN 13:1–17
4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his
garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
5 After that he poureth water into a basin, and
began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe
them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter
saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do
thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know
hereafter.
8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash
my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not,
thou hast no part with me.
JOHN 13:1–17
9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet
only, but also my hands and my head.
10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth
not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit:
and ye are clean, but not all.
11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore
said he, Ye are not all clean.
12 So after he had washed their feet, and had
taken his garments, and was set down again, he
said unto them, Know ye what I have done to
you?
13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well;
for so I am.
JOHN 13:1–17
14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed
your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s
feet.
15 For I have given you an example, that ye
should do as I have done to you.
16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is
not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent
greater than he that sent him.
17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do
them.
