FAMILY PLUS Preschool - May 5

This Sunday your child will continue to hear that God made people to live in families and know that He wants family members to love and care for one another.

This week parents challenge- Read Exodus 2:1-10. When Jochebed gave birth to a son, she did as Pharaoh commanded, sort of! She put him in the Nile, but compassionately, in a carefully crafted basket. She assigns his older sister, Miriam, to watch over him. I believe God lead her to a particular spot. Do you think think Jochebed knew it was the princess's bathing area? I don't think this story was coincidence it was God-incident. What "God incidents" have helped your family confront or overcome dangers? Think about the many ways that God was at work protecting you and your family.
Find ways to include your child in helping at home. Even as young as they are they can learn that family members care about one another.


This Sunday May 8, 2011
Each age group's story is the same this week. I have simplified each age level.

Bible Story: Miriam's Family Exodus 2:1-10
Miriam's family had a new baby boy. Jochebed (JAHK uh bed), the baby's mother, wanted him to grow up to be healthy and strong. But Pharaoh the king of Egypt, did not want Hebrew baby boys to live. For three months, Jochebed hid the baby.

When she could not hide him any longer, Jochebed took a basket made from reeds and covered the outside with black, sticky tar. The tar would keep water out of the basket.

Gently, Jochebed placed her baby in the basket. She set the basket in the reeds near the edge of the Nile River. Miriam stayed ear the rier to watch her baby brother.

Pharaoh's daughter came to take a bath in the river. She saw the basket in the reeds and sent a helper to get it. When she opened the basket, she saw the baby boy. She felt sorry for him

Miriam came out of the tall grass. "Do you want me to get someone to take care of the baby?" "Yes!," said Pharaoh's daughter. Miriam hurried to get her mother. "Take this baby and care for him, "Pharaoh's daughter said to Jochebed. "I will pay you to take care of the baby." Jochebed took the baby home to take care of him. When he was older Pharaoh's daughter took him back. She named him Moses.

Miriam showed love to her family by helping keep her brother safe.

Bible Story: Miriam's Family Exodus 2:1-10
Miriam's family had a new baby boy. Miriam helped her mother take care of the baby. The king of their country did not want baby boys to live. So Miriam and her family did not tell anyone about the baby. Miriam's family hid the baby for three months. As the baby grew, Miriam's family had to think of a way to keep him safe.

Miriam's mother got a basket. She covered it with sticky tar. The tar would keep water out of the basket. Gently Miriam's mother laid the baby in the basket in the tall grass near the edge of the river. Miriam stayed nearby to watch her baby brother.

As the king's daughter walked beside the river, she saw the basket. She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying. She felt sorry for the baby. Miriam went to the king's daughter and asked, "Do you want me to get someone to take care of the baby for you?"  "Yes, go," answered the king's daughter. Miriam ran and got her mother.

"Take this baby and care for him," the king's daughter told Miriam's mother. Miriam's mother was happy to take care of her own baby. The king's daughter named the baby Moses. Miriam was a helper in her family.
