Hi Parent and Grandparents,
To many preschoolers, church represents a loving and fun place. In February, not only will preschoolers hear Bible stories about people going to church, they will begin to understand that they, too, can do unique things at church. This week they will hear how Solomon led the people to sing and play instruments at the dedication of the temple in Jerusalem. They will have opportunities to sing and talk to God at church.
Your parent challenge this week is to look at the Bible story at bedtime. Tell the story to your child from the take home page that your child's teacher sends home on Sundays. Remark: “In this story the people worshiped God. Where is one place we can worship God?” (church)

The People Worshiped God (2 chronicles 3:1-17; 5:1-14)
Bible Story Brief -
• Solomon was the king of Israel. God had a special job for King Solomon. God wanted him to build the temple. The temple would be a place where people could learn about God and praise and worship Him.
• Many workers built the temple. Solomon told the workers to use the best wood and stones to build the temple. They built a long porch across the front of the temple. The inside of the temple was covered with gold and decorated with colorful jewels. The workers carved angels on the walls and sewed a blue, purple, and red curtain for the temple. Finally, the temple was finished.
• Solomon told the priests to bring the ark of the covenant into the temple. He told them to bring all the furniture and the special gifts that David, his father, had saved for the temple. He called all the
people together. The priests dressed in fine linen clothes and went into the temple. They took musical instruments with them— cymbals, harps, lyres, and trumpets.
• The priests played the instruments and sang. The people praised and thanked God. They sang, “God is good. His love lasts forever.” God heard the words and songs of the people as they worshiped Him.
Bible Truth - People at church worship God.
Life Application - I can worship God at church.
