This week we began a new series called The Great Sky Bridge Showdown. During this series preschoolers are pretending to be a part of a construction crew building a great bridge that connects two tall buildings while elementary schoolers are learning how to become wise builders who follow Jesus’ blueprints for their lives.

Need to Know: God Has A Plan For Me!

This week’s Bible story can be found in Exodus 2:1-10. In this story we learned that bad Pharaoh wanted to hurt all the baby boys in Egypt, but God had a plan for a baby named Moses. Moses’ mom realized she could not hide him from bad Pharaoh so she placed him in a basket and put him in the river. Moses ended up safely in the arms of Pharaoh’s daughter, who raised him as her own son.

Just like God had a plan for Moses, we learned that God Has A Plan For Me. We can find out God’s plan for us by listening to God. We can listen to God with our eyes when we read the Bible and watch shows about Him. And we can listen to God with our ears by listening to and obeying our parents & by listening to other people who love Jesus.

This week, help your child begin remembering our new Remember Verse for this series—1 Timothy 4:10 (NCV). Remembering God’s word together will grow your relationship with your child and with the Lord. Here is the verse and the motions we do along with it:

“This is why we work hard (pretend to hammer). We trust (cover eyes with both hands) in God, (point up) who loves (cross arms over chest) all people (arms open wide).” - 1 Timothy (hold up one finger) 4:10 (hold up 4 fingers)

Need to Know: Follow God’s Plan!

Today we heard about God’s plan for building the Temple in 1 Chronicles 28:1-9 & 2 Chronicles 2-4. God had given King David the plan for building the Temple as a place for the Israelites to worship God. David planned on building the Temple himself, but God had a different plan.  God wanted David’s son, Solomon, to build it.  David trusted God and gave Solomon God’s plan for building the Temple.  By following God’s plan, Solomon was able to construct the great Temple, and the Israelites had a place to worship God. 

Just like Solomon followed God’s plan for the temple, we also need to Follow God’s Plan! We talked about five ways we can find out about God’s plan for us & follow it:

  1. Coming to Church
  2. Reading the Bible Every Day
  3. Praying
  4. Asking Your Parents About God
  5. Talking to Your Small Group Leader & Others Who Love Jesus

Knowing & following God’s plan will make us wise builders. Memorizing scripture is another way we can know & follow God’s plan. This week we began memorizing Matthew 7:24-25 (CEV). Help your child practice the first part we started memorizing today:

“Anyone who hears and obeys these teachings of mine is like a wise person who built a house on solid rock…” - Matthew 7:24-25

Motions for younger elementary kids: “Anyone who hears (cup hand around ear) and obeys (swing arms in marching motion) these teachings of mine, (hold Bible) is like a wise person (point to head) who built a house (hammer) on solid rock (pound fists on top of each other)...” - Matthew 7:24-25 (hold up seven fingers)

This was our sixth and final week as the live studio audiences of The Reindeer Radio Show and The North Pole News.

Today’s Headline: We Can Follow Jesus! Last week we learned how God sent his Son to be the Savior of the world, and this week we saw how God shared this good news with a few shepherds and wise men.

First, God sent an angel to tell some shepherds that He had sent baby Jesus who had been born in Bethlehem. The shepherds were so excited that they ran to see baby Jesus, and they found him just like the angel had said. The shepherds believed that God had sent Jesus to save us from our sin and fix our friendship with God, and because Jesus could do something so great, they decided to follow Him forever.

A little while later some very wise men saw a big, bright star in the sky. The wise men followed the star which led them to Jesus’ house! The wise men decided to follow Jesus, too, since only He can fix our friendship with God.

Preschoolers in SpringTown & Treehouse heard about the many different ways we follow Jesus. Make these a part of your family’s routine as you all grow in your relationship with our Savior!

  • Praying
  • Going to Church
  • Reading the Bible
  • Telling People About Jesus
  • Loving Others
  • Giving Money to Your Church
  • Obeying
  • Taking Care of Older People

Elementary school-aged kids in ImagiNation, Jump Street & Shockwave also learned about these ways we follow Jesus, but first they learned how to start following Jesus! To start following Jesus, we just need to pray and tell Him three things:

  • First, we tell God that we have done wrong things (sinned).
  • Second, we tell God that we believe in our heart that Jesus died for us and that God brought Him back to life.
  • Third, we tell Jesus that we want Him to be our best friend and leader so that we can follow Him forever.
