WHAT WE'RE LEARNING IN MAY...
More than ever, our kids are engaged in spiritual battle these days, whether they realize it or not. Their faith is attacked–not by obvious opposition–but by subtle questions and moral ambiguity, that can cause kids to doubt and become less outspoken about Jesus. In this way, it has become an increasingly difficult era to share the Gospel. . . all the more reason why we, and our kids, need to be thoroughly equipped to “GO!” Through this series, kids will see that even though they are young, God gave us a mission,to share God’s story through words and actions. In order to do this with power and conviction, God gives us the Holy Spirit, and moreover, God gives us everything we need.When I face obstacles, God will protect my heart and mind, and when it seems like there is nothing I can do, kids will realize I can help others when I pray.
VIRTUAL SUNDAY SCHOOL
MAY 31, 2020 ELEMENTARY
THIS WEEK
Kids find out how Peter miraculously escaped from prison when the believers got together and prayed.
THE BIG IDEA: I can help others when I pray.
THE BIBLE: Acts 12:1-17; John 14:13-14
SCROLL DOWN FOR THE PRESCHOOL LESSON
ACTIVITY | Text God
INSTRUCTIONS:
Text God printable and something to write with. Kids can write, draw emojis, or pictures.Think of someone in your life who could really use some help. This person has a problem you can’t help them with. Maybe it’s a person at school. Maybe it’s someone in your neighborhood or here at church. Maybe it’s someone in your family. Whomever it is, I want you to put that person on your card. Remember, sometimes the best thing we can do to help someone is to pray and ask God for help!
PARENTS ASK THIS
Because sometimes you and your kid need a conversation-starter that isn't, "So . . . how was church?"
How did Peter escape from prison?
Why do you think God wants us to pray for others?
NEXT WEEK
We’re starting a new series! Check your email for next month’s monthly view of what’s coming up.
REMEMBER THIS
Your kids are memorizing the Bible verse Matthew 5:16 (NIV), in case you want to work on it together.
