Elementary
Questions Read(Luke 7:18-23). We learned from our Bible Story that even John had doubts! It’s okay to have doubts. Doubts help us look over things and want to find out more. However, you can’t stay doubtful all the time though. You need to ask the right questions from the right people. Together as a family, make a book of questions. Have each person think of one question he or she wants to know more about. Write it down at the top of a page in your book. Each day, pick one question to find out the answers. Use the computer or books, make a trip to the library together, or ask your pastor to find out the information. Remind your child that having doubts is a part of life. Asking the right questions of the right people is important, but even more important is praying to God and asking Him to help you with your doubts!
Pre-K and Toddlers
Activity: World Walk Take a walk with your child this week, and point out all the things you see that God created. Point out the birds, the insects, the trees and flowers, the grass and dirt, and the sky. When you get back home, spend some time praying with your child to thank God for all the wonderful things He created.
See you next Sunday for our End of School "Funday Sunday"

This Week's Main Point: I Will Ask For Help!
With God’s Help Whenever we have difficult or everyday problems, we should ask God for help. Tell your child about a time and situation in your life when you weren’t sure what to do. Did you ask God for help or sit there and just worry? What was the outcome of the situation? This week, make a weekly calendar on poster board. Each night at dinner, discuss what happened in your day that might be worrying you. Write it down on the calendar. Come together as a family and pray about each situation. Post the poster up in your house as a reminder to pray for those situations in your family’s life. Encourage your child to ask God for help whenever he or she has a problem.

Point out different heights, different skin colors, different hair lengths, etc. Then discuss how God made all of us to be different and special, and how He loves us very much.
See you Sunday!!

Learn From Others
We sometimes see other’s mistakes. We should learn from their mistakes. As a family, watch a children’s show together this week. Discuss what the main character did in the show. What choices did that character make? Did he or she do the right thing or the wrong thing? What could have been done differently? Discuss what you can learn from the main character of the show. Remind your child that we can learn a lot from people who do the right things, but we can also learn from the mistakes
others make.

During one of your child’s snack times this week, play a game of Cookie Corral. Get some animal crackers and sort through them together, figuring out what kinds of animals they are, how they’re the same, and how they’re different. One time, you might have your child organize them by ‘two-legged’ or ‘four-legged’ animals. Other times, you might have them sort the animals by who has horns and who doesn’t or who lives in the water or out. Afterwards, talk to your child about how no matter what they look like or where they live, God made all the animals on Earth.

I Will Remember What Others Have Done For Me!
Write the Main Point on a sheet of paper in large handwriting. Take turns as a family rewriting the Main Point, getting smaller and smaller each time you write it, until you can’t write it any smaller.
Bible Verse: “They share freely and give generously to those in need. Their good deeds will be remembered forever. They will have influence and honor.” Psalm 112:9 NLT
Read the Bible Story together: The Case of Pharaoh’s Dream. (Genesis 40-41)
Ask family members if there has ever been a time when someone did something very special for them. How did they feel when it was done? What did they do afterwards?
Remember
We all have times in our lives when someone helps us or does something nice for us. Just as the cup-bearer and Pharaoh remembered what Joseph had done for them and did something nice for Joseph in return, we need to do the same thing. As a family, think of something someone has done for all of you in the past. This could be one person who has done a lot for the whole family, or each family member can choose a person. Think of something you can do for the people who have blessed you and your family in the past and do it. You could write thank you notes, bake them cookies, or send them flowers. Remind your child that we should remember when others help us and dosomething nice in return.

God Made The Fish And Birds!
Bible Story: Genesis 1: 20-23
This week, read about God creating the fish and the birds in Genesis 1:20-23. Talk to your child about all the different fish that swim in the ocean and lakes, and the birds that fly around the sky.
Activity: Feed The Birds
Sometime this week, make a bird feeder with your child and hang it outside where you can see it often. Whenever you see birds near it, remind your child that God made all the birds that fly in the air, and all the fish that swim in the water. A simple birdfeeder can be made by putting peanut butter or corn syrup on a pinecone, rolling it in birdseed, and hanging it in a tree.
