Here’s what’s
happening during the upcoming weeks:
April 26 & May 10: The Apostle Paul traveled to Macedonia to
spread the word about Jesus. One of the
people who heard him was Lydia, a business woman who sold purple fabric to
wealthy people. 1st – 6th grades will learn how Lydia used
her gifts and influence in the community to spread the word about God’s love
for everyone.
Helpful Bible verse: Acts 16:9-15
Optional family activity: Find a container (or make a pouch if you’re
really “crafty”) and cover it with purple fabric, paper or paint. While you work on the containers, ask your
child what they are good at doing – feel free to help them. On pieces of paper, write down their gifts
and talents and put the pieces of paper in the container. Talk about how they can use their gifts to
show others about God’s love.
April 26th: Following the
lectionary, Pre-K will learn how
Jesus is like a shepherd taking care of his sheep – He cares for and loves each
of us and keeps us safe. Even if we get
“lost”, He will find us and bring us back home.
Helpful Bible verse: John
10:11-18
Optional family activity: Using
a treasured stuffed animal (or a real animal if you have one), talk about
things we do to take care of things that we love. Tell your children it’s the same with Jesus
who loves us, cares for us and protects us no matter what.
May 10th:
Pre-K will continue with the lectionary lesson telling about when
Peter was speaking to a crowd about Jesus and the Holy Spirit came down in a
great wind and opened the hearts of the people.
Helpful Bible verse: Acts 10:44-48
Optional Famiy activity: Go fly a kite with your children. Talk about how just as the wind helps to lift
the kite and make it fly, the Holy Spirit lifts our hearts and opens us up to
God’s love.
