This Sunday June 19, 2011
Each age group's story varies a little this week. I have simplified each age level.
*See below for upcoming events
1's and 2's
Talk to God
God desires for us to become men or women of prayer because talking to God is a way we can show love to God. Sunday's story reminds us that prayer is powerful and effective. Bible Story: Elijah Talked to God 1 Kings 18:1-2, 41-46
Elijah loved God. Elijah talked to God to know the right things to do and say.
One day Elijah talked to God and asked him to stop the rain. God heard Elijah. He did what Elijah asked. God stopped sending the rain. The ground became very dry. Food could not grow, the people were hungry.
After along time, God told Elijah, "Now I will send rain." Elijah hurried to the top of the mountain. He talked to God some more. Elijah's helper looked for clouds in the sky. Finally rain began to fall.
Elijah knew God heard him talk to Him. Elijah knew God would help.

Showing love to God.

Bible Story: Elijah Talked to God 1 Kings 18:1-21, 41-46
It had not rained for a long, long time. There had not been any rain to make the grass and plants grow. The people and animals needed food to eat and water to drink.
God told Elijah, "I will send rain. Go and tell the king."
After Elijah told the king, Elijah and his helper went up to the top of a mountain. Elijah talked to God (prayed). Elijah asked God to send rain.
Elijah told his helper to go and look toward the sea. The helper looked but saw no clouds.
"Go back," Elijah said. One, two, three, four, five, six times Elijah told his helper to look. On the seventh time, Elijah's helper saw a very small cloud out over the sea. It was about the size of a man's hand. Elijah knew God had heard his prayer.
Soon there were more dark clouds in the sky. The wind began to blow. Rain began to fall. Now the grass and plants could grow. The animals and people would have food to eat.

All About God
Bible Story: God Helped the People Leave Egypt
"Get up! Take your people and your animals and go worship your God," Pharaoh said. Moses and his brother Aaron told the Israilite people to get ready. They asked the Egyptians for clothers. They asked the Egyptians for silver and gold. The Egyptians gave them all that they asked for. The Iraelites hurried to pack their things. They did not even have time to add yeast to their bread dough.
Soon all the men, all the women, all the children, and all their animals were ready to go. They walked along behind Moses and Aaron, leaving Egypt behind.
But it was not long before Pharaoh changed his mind. He wanted the Israelites to come back. The Israelites were afraid of Pharaoh, and they did not want to go back to Egypt. They saw Pharaoh and his army behind them. They saw the Red Sea in front of them. What could they do? Moses prayed to God for help.
God made a big wind blow the water of the Red Sea back. The Israelites walked across on dry ground! A wall of water was on their left. A wall of water was on their right. But they kept walking. After all the people had crossed, God closed the sea again. When they reached the other side, they sang songs of thanks to God. God had helped the Israelites leave Egypt.
