FAMILY PLUS Preschool - January 10

Hi Parents and Grandparents!

Below you will find the Bible story, verses and a parent challenge that your preschooler will learn this Sunday. I want to let you know what your preschooler learns on Wednesday nights as well. Last night we started a new series called Lil' K, BIBLE SUPERHEROS. In Bible Superheroes, we will discover the qualities that Superheroes are made of! God's super power transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary! Come along with us on Wednesday nights and find out about these wonderful adventures with Lil' K. I am sure your preschooler will love it! Dinner starts at 4:30 and preschool classes start at 6:00. I hope to see you there.

This Sunday, January 13, 2013, your preschooler will hear this story -
Ezra Read the Bible Nehemiah 8:1-12
Bible Story Brief -
• The people of Israel gathered in an open area in the city in front of a large gate. A priest named Ezra carried the Bible scroll with the laws God had told Moses. 
• Ezra climbed upon a high wooden platform where all the people could see him. He opened the scroll, and all of the people stood up.
• Ezra, the priest, read the words from the scroll from early in the morning until noon.The men and women listened carefully to the words that Ezra read.They raised their hands, said “Amen, amen,” and bowed down to worship God.
• Other teachers helped the people understand what Ezra was reading.The people
listened to the words on the scroll.They knew that they had not been doing what
God wanted them to do.They felt sad.
• Nehemiah, the governor, and Ezra, the priest, talked to the people. “Do not be sad,” they said. “Today is a special day to worship God.”
• Nehemiah told the people, “Eat good food. Drink something sweet. Share your food with those who do not have anything to eat.Worship God. Do not be sad.” Nehemiah told the people to be happy and celebrate.
• The people did what Nehemiah told them to do. They ate and drank. They shared their food with others.They were happy and celebrated. They had heard the words from the Bible scroll. Ezra and the teachers taught them what God wanted them to do, and they understood God’s words.


Bible Verse - I will not forget God’s words. Psalm 119:16
Life Application -  I can discover ways we read and use the Bible at church.
Bible Truth - People at church learn from the Bible.


Weekly Parent Challenge - On the way home from church, ask each family member to tell a way he or she used the Bible today at church. Talk about other ways the Bible can be used at church. (as a gift for baby dedications, graduation, promotion, etc.)
