What are the Children Learning?

Elementary

In May, the elementary-aged children will learn that God took the initiative to send Jesus because of our sin. Jesus came so that we could be brought back into a relationship with God, making things right again. When we see a need and choose to do something about it, people can see the reality of God’s love for them.

  • Week One: God So Loved the World (John 3:16-17)
    • Bottom Line: God took care of our greatest need.
  • Week Two: Miriam Takes Initiative (Exodus 2:1-10)
    • Bottom Line: Look for ways to help the people you love.
  • Week Three: Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30)
    • Bottom Line: Look for ways to use what you’ve been given.
  • Week Four: John’s Disciples Follow Jesus (John 1:35-42)

Bottom Line: Look for ways to tell others about Jesus.

Virtue: Initiative – Seeing what needs to be done and doing it
Memory Verse: None of you should look out just for your own good. Each of you should also look out for the good of others. (Philippians 2:4, NIrV)

Preschool

In May, our preschool group will learn that God is going to give them big things to do. God is also going to give them little things to do. And whether it’s a big thing or a little thing, we want our preschoolers to know that they have the Lord our God to help them.

  • Week One: Noah’s Ark* (Genesis 6:8–9:17)
  • Week Two: Aaron and Hur Help Moses (Exodus 17:8-13)
  • Week Three: Deborah (Judges 4:1-10, 14; 5:1-31)
  • Week Four: Nehemiah Asks for Help (Nehemiah 1-4, 6:1, 15)

Bottom Line: God helps me do big things.

Memory Verse: “I know that God helps me.” Psalm 54:4, NIrV
