SESSION OUTLINE
FOCUS
Welcome each student with their entire name when they arrive. Begin class with a prayer thanking God for each student. Again, repeat their entire name as you pray. After the prayer, ask: Does anybody have an idea of what we’ll be talking about today?
(They will probably guess “names.”)
Go around the group and ask each student to say one thing they like about their name, and, if there’s something they don’t like, they can say that as well. Set the example by sharing about your name.

CONNECT
Write this name on the white board: Maher-shalal-hash-baz
Ask students to try to pronounce it.
Say: Some kid in the Bible got stuck with this name. Let’s find out who and why.
