Preschool – “My Diggin’ Adventure”
As we begin a new series your preschoolers will travel to the mountains for an exciting adventure. They will hear how God works in the lives of His people.

Need to Know: God always hears us when we talk to Him.
Memory Verse: “I love God because He listened to me.” Psalm 116:1 (The Message)

Motions: God always hears us (cup hands behind ears) when we talk (praying hands) to Him.

Bible Summary: I Samuel 1–2:11, 2:18-21 Hannah was very sad because she had no children. Every year, Hannah went to the Tabernacle and prayed that God would bless her with a child. One year, Hannah told God if He blessed her with a baby, she would dedicate the baby’s life to God. After Hannah went home, God blessed her with a baby. She named him Samuel. Later, Samuel grew up to be a prophet of God.

This Week at Home: Ask your child about Hannah. Ask your child “What did Hannah ask God for? (A baby.) Did God give Hannah the baby? (Yes.) Does God hear us when we talk to him? (Yes.) God hears all of us when we talk with to Him. Show your child how easy it is….have a daily prayer together.

Elementary – Virtue “Individuality”

This month’s theme is “Body Building,” discovering your part of the “body” so you can make a difference.
Virtue: Individuality – discovering who you are meant to be so you can make a difference.
Memory Verse: “How you made me is amazing and wonderful.” Psalm 139:14, NIrV
Bible Story: The One and Only (one body, many parts) • 1 Corinthians 12:14-21,25-27
Bottom Line: When you do your part, you can make a difference.
Review: We have all been gifted in different ways. Some of us are teachers. Some of us are good with our hands. Some of us are great athletes. No one gift is better than another. In fact, it’s only when we pool our gifts together that we begin to see how great an impact we can have. (1) Individuality is discovering who you are meant to be so you can make a difference. (2) God knows all about individuality. That’s why the whole of His creation is filled with such unique detail. (3) He wants us to discover who we are meant to be. That means learning what our gifts are and then using those gifts for His glory—in other words, doing our part. (4) The difference we can make when we are all doing our part will be monumental. So today, focus on helping kids understand that they need to put what they’ve learned about individuality into action. Once you’ve discovered who you are meant to be, it’s time to go out there and do your part to make a difference.

This Week at Home: Remind your child that God made each of them individually, amazing and wonderful. Review the refrigerator door handout with your child this week for some great conversation starters at the dinner table.
