Jesus Calms the Storm

Big Idea: Life goes up; life goes down; but God's love is still around!

Matthew 8:27

The men were amazed and said, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey him!"

The elementary kids heard the story from Matthew chapter 8 of Jesus calming the storm. They learned that storms come suddenly, studied the stark contrast of Jesus peace and the disciple's fear, and celebrated the power of God over any storm that comes our way. Talk with your kids about specific storms they might be facing and how God's power is over that storm.

Big Idea: God watches over us when we are scared

Psalm 121:5a

The Lord Himself watches over you!

The kids heard the story of Daniel interpreting the king's dream found in Daniel 2:1-3, 14. They learned that God watches over us even though we can't see Him. How can your family help each other when you are scared?

Big Idea: God wants us to pray when we're in trouble

I Thessalonians 5:17

Never stop praying

The kids heard the story of Daniel facing death and still choosing to honor God and pray three times a day from Daniel 6:16-23. They discovered that God wants us to pray when we're in trouble or afraid. What troubles can your family give to God in prayer?

Rejoice in the Lord!

Big Idea: Rejoice in the Lord

Verse: Luke 11:9
Ask and the Lord will hear you

In Kiddie Clubs this week preschool children learned about Isaac being born to Abraham and Sarah. This miracle brought much rejoicing and praise of an almighty God. Teach your child to rejoice at home by making a drum together out of an oatmeal can and rice. Have fun singing and praising and rejoicing in the Lord.

Giving

Sup Wit Sunday?

Big Idea: God's Deal is a Great Deal!

Romans 10:15

And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

The elementary kids heard the importance of giving as a part of church and what we do on Sundays. Giving is a part of being a good steward, offering worship to God, and obeying God's commands.
