Hi Parents and Grandparents!
As you prepare your child for the story this week or you talk about it after Sunday, look online at pictures of storms. Listen as your child expresses his or her feelings about storms. Talk about how the disciples must have felt. Help your child understand that fear is a normal emotion. Talk about ways Jesus helps us when we are afraid. Pray with your child, asking God to help you and your child remember that He is always with you—even in a storm.
This Sunday, February 21, 2013, your preschooler will hear this story -
Jesus Calmed the Storm Mark 4:1-2,35-41
Bible Story Brief -
• One day a large crowd of people gathered around Jesus near the lake. They wanted to hear what He would tell them about God. There were so many people they had a hard time hearing and seeing Him. So Jesus got into a boat on the lake and sat in it to teach. That way the people would be able to hear and see Him better. Jesus spoke to the people, telling them many stories to help them learn about God.
• When evening came, Jesus said to His disciples, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake. ”They left the crowd behind and began to sail to the other side. Some other boats sailed with them, too. Jesus moved to the back of His boat and lay down to rest. Soon He was fast asleep.
• A big storm came up.Waves crashed over the boat. It was about to sink, and the disciples were afraid. They went to Jesus and said, “Wake up! We’re in danger!”
• Jesus stood up. He told the wind to stop and the waves to be still. Then the wind stopped! The waves became calm and still!
• The disciples saw that Jesus could calm a storm.They could hardly believe what had happened.They said, “Even the wind and the waves obey Jesus!” The disciples knew that Jesus cared for them even when they were afraid.
