This Week in NewLife Kids

Allaso Ranch - Elementary

WHAT WAS THE MAIN POINT? God Is Our Provider, So We Should Be Grateful!

WHAT WAS THE BIBLE VERSE? “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and
thank him for all he has done.” Philippians 4:6 (NLT)

WHAT WAS THE BIBLE STORY? God Provided Manna (Exodus 16;Numbers 11)

MAIN POINT ACTIVITY: Have your family sit in a circle on the fl oor. Have family members say something God has provided for them. After each person, the whole family should say “We are grateful.” Keep going around the circle as long as you can.

READ THE BIBLE STORY TOGETHER: God Provided Manna (Exodus 16;Numbers 11)
Ask your children to make a list of five things God has provided for them.

I GOT WHAT I NEED:
God provided manna for the Israelites to eat. The Israelites were not grateful for the manna. They wanted something else even
though the manna God provided met all of their needs. God knows what we need, and He will provide it for us right when we need it. It may not be what we want, but it will be what we need. Have your children tell you of a time they wanted something, but you gave them something they needed instead. Ask them to tell you how it made them feel at the time. Maybe they wanted candy for a snack, but you gave them an apple instead. Explain to your children that we need to be grateful for everything God provides for us.

Main Point: God Made Me To Help Others!
Bible Story: Good Samaritan - Luke 10:30-37
Bible Verse: “When God created human beings, he made them to be like himself.” Genesis 5:1b (NLT)

Family Activity

Today, your child learned to be a good helper. They learned the importance of being kind and helping others when they see a need. Just as the Samaritan man helped the Jewish man in Jesus’ story, we need to help others as well.

This week, help your children take a moment to look around the house and see how they can help their family members. Help your children write down three things they can do to help around the house this week. Maybe the laundry needs to be put away or some toys need to be picked up.

Remind your children to help their family members throughout the week. Encourage your children to help whenever they find a need!
