Preschool – “Artrageous Art Studio

Need to Know: God made everything, and we can take care of it.
Bible Story: Story of Creation, Genesis 1-2, The Beginner’s Bible
Memory Verse: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1
Motions: God (point up) made everything (spread arms wide) and we (clap) can (clap) take (clap) care of it (clap).

Review:

The Bible reveals the fascinating story of how God made everything.
It recounts in brilliant colors the true story of creation. Then God formed man from the dust of the ground, breathed into his nostrils the breath of life—and the man became a living being (Genesis 2:7). A little while later, God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, took one of his ribs, and made a woman (Genesis 2:22). Right there, in the glorious Garden of Eden, the first two people were formed and breathed their first breaths. Ever wish you could read the amazing details of how you were made? You can. Check out Genesis 1:27. It says you were made in God’s image. Then look up Psalm 139. It says that God formed your inmost being in your mother’s womb, and that you were wonderfully and fearfully made. Spend time this week thinking about the unique and beautiful way in which God made you. Then thank your Maker, the God of the Universe, that you can read in His word the true account of how He made you and everything in this world.

This Week at Home:
Remind your child that God made everything including them.




Elementary – Virtue “LOVE”

Need to Know: Talking to God changes things.

Bible Story: Stay Tuned (Jesus prays) John 17: 1-26

Review:

We’re focusing on a “faith skill,” the faith skill of prayer (dialoguing with God, both public and private). There are all kinds of things kids need to understand about talking with God: you can talk to Him anytime, anywhere, about anything. You can ask for help, you can thank Him for what He’s done, you can praise Him for who He is, you can ask for forgiveness. You can pray for yourself, for others, or about your circumstances. You can pray solo; you can pray with others. Jesus modeled all these ideas and more for us. But ultimately, He showed us that talking to God changes things. So today, focus on helping kids learn about prayer AND what it does. Stay tuned.
