Do You Want Rest? Family Plus PS

Hi Parents and Grandparents of Preschoolers!

This weeks activity might be a little difficult for some us, but I believe if you will take the time and do it, you will be pleased with the outcome.

Commit to a specific time this week that your family will rest. No work, practices, or technology allowed. Instead, relax and enjoy the time together. Talk about how God wants us to rest. Thank Him for this time.

This Sunday, April 6, 2014, your preschooler will learn about this story:

Moses Rested Based on Exodus 31

God had spoken to Moses and had given him the special rules for all the people to follow. God had told Moses His plans to make a special place to worship Him. God told Moses that He had chosen two special men to help build the tabernacle. 

Then God spoke to Moses again. “Tell the people that they must have a day of rest,” God said. “This day of rest will help other people to know that My people are special.” God told Moses that the day of rest was to be a holy day. People could work on six days, but the seventh day would be a day of rest.

“The day of rest is to be kept by My people and all the families that come after them,” God said. “It is a special sign between Me and them because I made the world in six days and rested on the seventh.” 

After God spoke to Moses, God gave him two stone tablets with the Ten Commandments written on them.

Christ Focus: Jesus gives us rest.

Life Point: God said to rest after working. 

Life Verse: Work together with a good attitude. Ephesians 6:7

Question: 

Name several reasons God told Moses for His people to have a day of rest.
