This Sunday July 10, 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
Sunday's story is about strengthening our faith and magnifying His glory. Before you read Sunday's story to your preschooler, think about this...Naaman and his servants came to know the one true God and wanted to thank Elisha with a gift. Why do you think Elisha declined Naaman's offer of a gift? Elisha wanted to convey that God performed Naaman's healing and any praise of gratitude was His alone. How can God use your difficult situations to strengthen your faith and magnify His glory?
Bible Verse: Tell about God. 1 Chronicles 16:9
Bible Concept: People tell about God and Jesus.
Bible Skill: Can hear Bible verses and relate to your preschoolers everyday activities.
3's through Kindergarten and Wee Worship
John the Baptist preached and prepared the hearts of God's people to accept Jesus. When Jesus passed by, John recognized Him.
John declared loudly for everyone around him to hear who Jesus was.
Often the most difficult people to lead to the Lord are those the ones that are closest to us, but the effort is worth it when they come to know the Lord.
Name the first person with whom you like to share any good news you receive. Usually we share good news with someone who is close and dear to us. This weeks story Andrew did not just share his news to his brother; he took his brother Simon to meet Jesus. Jesus knew that Simon would be the solid rock or stability in the early church. Andrew is the one that told his brother about Jesus. Mark 16:15 tells us to "Tell the good news about Jesus."
Bible Story: Andrew Told His Brother About Jesus John 1:35-42
John had been teaching people the good news about Jesus near the Jordan River. One day, he was standing with two of his disciples when he saw Jesus walking by. John said, "Look! It is Jesus, God's Son."
The two disciples heard him say this. One of the disciples was Andrew. Andrew and the other disciple followed Jesus.
Jesus turned around and saw them following. He asked, "What are you looking for?"
They said, "Teacher, where are You staying?" "Come," He replied. " You will see."
So they went and saw where He was staying. They spent the rest of the day with Him.
Andrew was Simon Peter's brother. The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon. He told Simon, "We found Jesus, God's Son." Andrew brought his brother, Simon, to Jesus.
When Jesus saw Simon, He said, "You are Simon, son of John. You will be called Peter."
Bible Truth: God wants people to tell about Jesus.
Bible Verse: Tell the good news about Jesus. Mark 16:15
Level of Biblical Learning: Missionaries tell people about God and Jesus in my country and in other countries.
Level of Bible Skills: Knows each main part of the Bible is divided into smaller parts called books.

Bible Story: Elisha Helped Naaman 2 Kings 5:1-16
Elisha helped people know about God and the wonderful things God could do.
One day Elisha heard about a man named Naaman who was very sick. Elisha heard that Naaman went to the king to get help.
The king could not help Naaman get well. But Elisha knew that God could!
Elisha cared about Naaman, so he told Naaman what to do to get well.
At fist Naaman was angry. He did not want to do what Elisha said. But Naaman listened!
After Naaman got well, he thanked Elisha for caring about him and helping him. But Elisha just wanted Naaman to know God made him well!
