FAMILY PLUS Preschool - August 5

God designed children to grow as His own Son did, physically, spiritually, mentally and socially. In August your preschooler will hear how they are growing. Through Bible focused activities they will come to know what God made them able to do. They will be given opportunities to do the things God wants them and others to do like help, be kind and love and care for others.

Every year when school starts back we have promotion Sunday. What this means for you is that your preschooler will be moving to the next class this Sunday. I sent out postcards to let you know which class your preschooler moved to. If for some reason you did not receive a card, Mrs. Katie and I will be happy to help you find the correct class at the assisted child check in station.



This Sunday August 7, 2011

Every age group's story is the same this week. I simplified them for you.

1's and 2's

1 Samuel 3;1,19-21 tells us how important it is to teach our children about God and to start teaching them at an early age. The early training Samuel received stayed with him all his life. Samuel was a prophet, one that men from all parts of Israel could consult. Because of Hannah's Prayers and faithfulness, the nation of Israel had a prophet who revealed the word of God to all Israel. 

Bible Story: Samuel Grew 1 Samuel 1:1-28

Samuel was a young boy. His family loved him. They took Samuel to church to learn about God. Samuel grew and grew. His mother made a bright new coat for Samuel to wear at church.

Eli was the teacher at the church. While Samuel was at church, he learned from Teacher Eli. Each day Teacher Eli told Samuel about God. Eli helped Samuel know that God made him and loved him. Eli told Samuel to listen to the words God said. Samuel learned that what God said was important.

God help Samuel grow and learn.

Bible Truth: God me me to grow.

Bible Story: Samuel Grew 1 Samuel 1:1-28; 2:18-21, 26

Hannah and Elkanah had a baby boy named Samuel. They loved Samuel very much. They knew that God loved baby Samuel, too. They wanted Samuel to learn about God.

Samuel grew. Samuel's parents took him to the tabernacle. At the tabernacle, Samuel met Eli. Eli was a priest and teacher at the tabernacle. Samuel's parents told Eli that they wanted Samuel to help Eli. Eli could teach Samuel what to do at the tabernacle. Eli could teach Samuel about God.

Samuel listened to Eli. He did the things that Eli taught him to do. Samuel helped keep the lamps burning in the tabernacle. He opened the doors to the tabernacle in the mornings. He worked to help Eli.

Samuel also listened to Eli when Eli told him about God. Eli taught Samuel how to talk to God and listen to God. Samuel talked to God. He listened to God. He did the things that God wanted him to do.

Because Samuel was growing, each year Hannah made him  a new coat. When she and Elkanah went tot he tabernacle, she brought the new coat to Samuel.

As Samuel grew older, God helped him. God was with Samuel in everything he did. People listened to what Samuel said. They knew that Samuel's words were true. They knew that Samuel knew about God and what God wanted them to do.

 

 Bible Truth: I am growing as God planned.

 

Bible Verse: God is with you in everything you do. Genesis 21:22
