FAMILY PLUS Preschool - May 12

This weeks lesson is about a family helping someone that needed food and a place to rest. What does the world teach us about helping other people? How many people have bought into the belief that they serve others to get what they want? What does the Bible teach about helping people? There are multiple opportunities to help families at our church that even preschoolers can be involved in. They can help you pick out food for our food closet. They could also help with the His Babies Ministry. We can teach our children that our families can love and care for one another and for others just as this woman did in our story.

This Sunday May 22, 2011

Each age group's story is the same this week. I have simplified each age level.
Kindergarten and Wee Worship
Bible Story: A Family helped Elisha 2 Kings 4:8-17
Elisha was a prophet. Elisha walked from town to town telling people what God wanted them to know. When Elisha came to a town, he needed a place to rest and eat.

Elisha often visited the town of Shunem. A woman there invited Elisha to eat with her and her husband. She told Elisha that he could eat and rest at their house when he came to their town.

One day the woman said to her husband, "Elisha helps people know about God. Lets build a room for him on the roof of our house. We can put a bed, table, chair and a lamp in the room. Whenever he comes to our town, Elisha will have a comfortable place to rest and eat."

The next time Elisha came to Shunem, he stopped at the man and woman's house. The man and woman took Elisha to the flat roof of the house. They showed Elisha his new room. Elisha was very thankful for the room.

One day as Elisha was resting in his room, he called for his helper Gehazi. Elisha said, "Go and get the woman." Gehazi brought the woman to Elisha. Elisha said, " You have built a room for me. What can I do for you?"

The woman did not want Elisha to do anything for her. The woman and her husband helped Elisha because they knew God wanted them to help him.

The couple did not have any children. Elisha told the woman that in a year she would have a son. The next year she did have a son just as Elisha promised.
