FAMILY PLUS Preschool - August 31

Hi Parents and Grandparents,

With Labor Day right around the corner, I was wondering if you and your family have any traditions? When I was a child, it always meant a cookout and one last day to spend in the sun with family. I still cherish those memories today! I would love to hear your stories, take time to write them down and send those to me. I would love to know what traditions you and your preschooler have!


This Sunday, September 2, 2012, your preschooler will hear this story -

People Found a Lost Bible Scroll 2 Kings 22:1-20; 23:1-3
Bible Story Brief -
• Josiah was 8 years old when he became king. He loved God.
• The kings who lived before Josiah did not love God. They had let the temple become dirty, and it needed repairs.When he became a man, King Josiah sent his helper Shaphan (SHAY fan) with a message for the priest, Hilkiah (hil KIGH uh): “People brought money to the temple. Give it to builders and carpenters who can clean and repair the temple.”
• In the temple, Hilkiah, the priest, found a Bible scroll that had been lost for a long time. He gave it to Shaphan, who took the scroll to King Josiah. Shaphan read some of the Bible scroll to the king.
• When King Josiah heard the words from the Bible scroll, he was sad and upset. “We have not been doing these things,” Josiah said. “We have not been obeying God.”
• Josiah gathered the people at the temple and read the scroll to them. He said, “I will do what the words of the Bible scroll say to do. I will obey God.” All of the people promised they would obey God, too.

Bible Verse -  All that the Bible says is from God. 2 Timothy 3:16
Life Application - I can learn that the Bible is an important book because it is from God.
Bible Truth - The Bible is an important and true book.

Your parent challenge this week - Take sheets of paper and make scrolls with your child. Invite your child to hide the scrolls in a room in your home. After you find the scrolls, open your Bible to 2 Kings and retell the Bible story.
