As the children arrive, invite them to sit in a circle on the floor. Ask the children to tell you about a friend they would love to go visit and why they would like to visit that friend. In today’s Treasure Story, they will learn about Paul’s friends in Rome. Paul wanted to visit the Christians in Rome very badly. He wrote them a letter telling them he hoped to visit with them soon.
