CONNECT: (7–10 minutes)
After each group arrives back at the meeting place, talk about their experiences.
How did it feel to ask for the food? Were people willing to give items?

EXPLORE THE BIBLE: (10–15 minutes)
Invite two students to read the passage of the Good Samaritan story.
1. Luke 10:25-32
2. Luke 10:32-37

Ask two other students to look up these words in a Bible dictionary and tell the class the definitions:
Priest
Levite
Samaritan
Unclean and clean
Based on what you’ve learned about these words, discuss with the class: Why didn’t the Priest and Levite stop? Why did the Samaritan stop? Share these thoughts with the class:
