Last Sunday in NewLife Kids the children learned that a good friend helps others. The bible story was about how Aaron and Hur helped Moses with a battle. (Exodus 17:8-13 NLT)
8 While the people of Israel were still at Rephidim, the warriors of Amalek attacked them. 9 Moses commanded Joshua, “Choose some men to go out and fight the army of Amalek for us. Tomorrow, I will stand at the top of the hill, holding the staff of God in my hand.”
10 So Joshua did what Moses had commanded and fought the army of Amalek. Meanwhile, Moses, Aaron, and Hur climbed to the top of a nearby hill. 11 As long as Moses held up the staff in his hand, the Israelites had the advantage. But whenever he dropped his hand, the Amalekites gained the advantage. 12 Moses’ arms soon became so tired he could no longer hold them up. So Aaron and Hur found a stone for him to sit on. Then they stood on each side of Moses, holding up his hands. So his hands held steady until sunset. 13 As a result, Joshua overwhelmed the army of Amalek in battle.
Take a few minutes this week with your child and talk about ways that they can help their friends. It is important that at an early age our children learn how to help others as they live their life. This practice will help make our children less selfish as they learn to look for ways to help others.
The memory verse for this week is Romans 15:2 "We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord." Help them hide God's word in their heart by learning the memory verse each week.
***Remember that we are giving out tickets for saying the momory verse and bring their bibles and friends with them to NewLife Kids.
