We had a blast last week at our Summer Jam. We had a great time learning Bible stories, Bible verses, worshiping, praying and playing together. Thank you for entrusting your children with us. Thanks for allowing us to be a small part of your child’s life this week. Children are truly a blessing!!
This Sunday June 26, 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
This Sunday's story reminds us to do what God says. When the Lord spoke to Abram, he listened, obeyed and worshiped. When God speaks to us, do we obey quickly? Did you know that delayed obedience is disobedience. Our obedience demonstrates our faith in God and His promises.
Bible Story: Abram Did What God Said Genesis 12:1-9
One day God told Abram to move. "Take your family to a new land. I will show you where to go. I will take care of you," God told Abram.
Abram loved God, so he did what God said. Abram told his family what God said. Then Abram, his nephew Lot, and all the family worked together to pack their things. Soon they were ready to move. Abram's family and all their animals began their long trip. They walked and walked and walked.
When Abram's family got to their new home, Abram talked to God. He thanked God for taking care of him and his family on the long trip.
Bible Truth: Doing what God says shows our love for Him.
Bible Verse: Do what God says. Deuteronomy 5:32One day God told Abram to move. "Take your family to a new land. I will show you where to go. I will take care of you," God told Abram.

Showing love to God. Exodus 19:9-25 explains the instructions God gave to help the Israelites to focus their minds on Him. He did not want the people to approach an encounter with Him unprepared or miss its significance. I wonder how often we approach worship experiences with our hearts and minds unprepared. Obeying God's rules is important because it shows that we love God.
Bible Story: God Gave Rules to Moses Exodus 19:1-20
Moses and the people were moving to a new home. They walked for many days. Then Moses decided to camp in the desert in front of a mountain.
One day Moses left the camp and walked up the mountain. God talked to Moses on the mountain. God told Moses to remind the people how God had cared for them.
Moses walked back to the camp. He gathered the people together and told them what God had said. The peole listened carefully. The people said, 'We will do everything God wants us to do."
God told Moses and the people some rules. These rules would help them know how to live.
These are some of the rules God gave Moses:
- Love me. I am God.
- Love your father and mother and do what they tell you to do.
- Do not take and keep something that belongs to someone else.
- Always tell the truth.
Bible Truth: God wants me to follow His rules.

Bible Story: God Gave Rules to Moses Exodus 19:1-20
Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. God showed Moses where to go and what to do. God led them to camp at the bottom of a mountain.
Moses went up the mountain to talk to God. God said, "Moses, remind the people how I helped them leave Egypt. I kept them safe as they traveled here to this mountain. Tell them to listen to Me and do what I tell them to do. I am coming in a cloud to speak to you. Tell them to get ready - to wash all their clothes and to set up boundaries around the mountain. Tell them to look for a thick cloud and to listen for the sound of a trumpet."
Moses went down the mountain and told the people what God had said. They replied, "We will do what God tell us to do."
Moses went up the mountain to talk to God again. God wanted the people to know what they should do and how they could obey Him. God told Moses and the people to obey these ten special rules, or commandments.
