They Were Surprised But I Am Not! Family Plus PS

Hi Parents and Grandparents of Preschoolers!
Here’s an activity you can do with your preschooler to help bring this week's story home.
Name people who tell your child about God and Jesus. Sing songs about Jesus. Remind your child that many people love her and help her learn about God and Jesus.
Play a guessing game. Describe a place or person (church, home, grandparent, friend) and ask your preschooler to tell you where he can learn about God and Jesus or who tells him about God and Jesus.
This Sunday, May 25, 2014, your preschooler will learn about this story:


Peter and John Preached Based on Acts 3:1-10,16
One day Peter and John were walking up to the temple. They saw a man who could not walk. Every day someone carried him there so he could ask people for money. When he saw Peter and John entering, he asked them for help.
Peter and John looked at the man. “Look at us,” they said. The man looked at them expecting to get some money. But Peter said, “I do not have any money, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus, get up and walk!”
Peter took him by the hand, and the man stood up. His feet became strong. He stood and walked into the temple with Peter and John. He was walking and leaping and praising God.
The people recognized the man. They knew he was the one who would lie at the gate and ask for money. They were surprised by what had happened to him.
Peter and John said, “We did not make this man walk by our own power. He was made well by the power of Jesus.”

Christ Focus: Tell others about the hope of Jesus!
Life Point: Tell everyone about the hope of Jesus. Life Verse: God loved us and sent His Son. 1 John 4:10

Questions:
What did the man on the temple steps want from Peter and John?
What did they do for him?
