Over the next five Sundays we will be talking about a new series - God Loves All People. Your preschooler will hear Bible stories and truths about God and His love for all people. They will come to know the following biblical concepts: God wants everyone to know about His love, people help others learn about Jesus, giving offerings helps others travel to different places to tell about Jesus. They will do Bible truths as they learn to pray and ask God to help other people.
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
Caring for one another
Bible Verse: Love other people and be kind. Luke 6:27
Bible Concept: I can help.
Bible Skill: Can hear Bible verses and relate to your preschoolers everyday activities.
3's through Kindergarten and Wee Worship
God Loves All People
Whenever I feel like I am just another face in a crowd, I think about this story of Zacchaeus. Jesus, the Savior, knows our name, our location, and our needs. Out of the crowds, He chooses us as His children to be used for His purposes. Ask God to give you boldness to show His love to those who need Him. How do you think the crowd reacted about Jesus stopping and talking to Zacchaeus? Jesus telling him that He was coming to his house? The world tends to categorize people as haves and have-nots, acceptable and unacceptable, beautiful and not so beautiful. However, God does not see people in those terms. God only sees a person in need of Him. He wants all people to know about His love.
Bible Story: Zacchaeus Learned About God's Love Luke 19:1-10
Jesus was coming! People were standing everywhere. Everyone wanted to see Jesus, including a man named Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus was a tax collector. People did not like Zacchaeus because he took more tax money than he should.
Zacchaeus really wanted to see Jesus. But he was too short to see over the crowd of people. So Zacchaeus ran ahead of the crowd and climbed a tree. Now he would be able to see Jesus.
Jesus came to the tree where Zacchaeus was sitting. Jesus stopped and looked up at Zacchaeus. "Come down, Zacchaeus," said Jesus. "I want to go to your house today!" Zacchaeus quickly climbed down the tree. He was happy that Jesus was going to his house. The other people wondered why Jesus wanted to visit the man they did not like.
As Zacchaeus and Jesus talked, Zacchaeus knew that he had done some wrong things. Zacchaeus told Jesus, "I will help the poor people. If I have taken too much money from people, I will give them back all of their money and more."
What a happy day for Zacchaeus! He knew that Jesus loved him and God loved him, too.
Bible Truth: God wants all people to know about His love.
Bible Verse: God will always love me. Psalm 107:1
Level of Biblical Learning: The Bible tells me to love others in my community and world.
Level of Bible Skills: Knows each main part of the Bible is divided into smaller parts called books.
Caring for one another
Bible Story: Kind Dorcas Acts 9:36-43
Dorcas cared about people. She wanted to do kind things for them. She must have enjoyed doing things for others.
Dorcas liked to sew clothes. She gave the pretty clothes she made to people who needed them.
Dorcas must have worked hard to make the clothes. She helped people who did not have much money. The people probably said: "Thank you, Dorcas, for the new clothes. Thank you for being kind.
The people love Dorcas. She was their friend. The people must have said; "Dorcas cares about us. Thank You, for our kind friend Dorcas."
Bible Truth: People can show love to others.
