Hi Parents and Grandparents of Preschoolers from New Orleans! I am on a mission trip with our High School Students this week. I love serving along side of them. They are very talented and are willing to serve at wherever or whatever is needed. They are definitely shining their light here in New Orleans. I do miss your preschooler and can't wait to see them this Sunday.
This week look for moments with your child to teach him or her that the Bible is important to you. Let him see you read your Bible. Explore the Bibles at your house. Talk about the similarities and differences. Talk about ways we use the Bible at church and mention the people in your child's life who teach him or her about the Bible. Encourage them to realize that the Bible is a special book.
Each age group is the same this week. I have simplified the story for all ages to understand.
This Sunday, October 9 “Josiah Read the Lost Scroll” 2 Kings 22:1-20; 23:1-3
Bible Verse: The Bible is right. Psalm 33:4
Life Application: I can understand the Bible teaches me what to do.
Bible Story - Josiah Read the Lost Scroll "2 Kings 22:1-20; 23:1-3"
Here is your conversation starter for this week: Print or write the Bible verse on five different pieces of paper. Hide the paper in your child’s room. At bedtime, say: “I have hidden an important message five different places in your room. Can you find each one?” As your child finds each piece of paper, read the verse together. Touch each word as you read it. Refer to the weekly take home page and include the Bible story as one of the stories you read to your child tonight. Ask: “Should we put this Bible verse on the refrigerator? It is a good verse to remember.” Allow your child to place the verse on the refrigerator before going to bed. Add this week’s weekly take home page to the notebook.
Bible Story Brief:
• The church needed to be cleaned and repaired. The people had stopped going to church. They had not heard anyone read from the Bible scroll.
• King Josiah said to one of his helpers, “Tell Hilkiah (hil KIGH uh) to count the money that the people brought to the church a long time ago; then he can give it to carpenters, builders, and other workers to repair the church.”
• While they worked, the workers found a Bible scroll. Hilkiah gave the scroll to one of the king’s helpers. The king’s helper read it to the king. When King Josiah heard the words, he was upset. “We have not been doing what God wants us to do,” the king said.
• King Josiah called all the people to the church. He read the Bible scroll to them. They all told God that they would do what God wanted them to do. King Josiah and the people were glad they had found the Bible scroll.
Bible Truth - The Bible tells what God wants us to do.
