Sunday at KidSpring… (February 21, 2010)

Today was the sixth week of The Great Sky Bridge Showdown where preschoolers are pretending to be a part of a construction crew building a great bridge that connects two tall buildings, and elementary schoolers are learning how to become wise builders who follow Jesus’ blueprints for their lives!

Need to Know: God Provides For My Needs

We all have things that we truly need, and today we Need to Know that God Provides For My Needs. We learned this as we saw how God provided for His people, the Israelites, as they traveled through the desert in Exodus 16. When the Israelites needed food and water, God provided for their needs—He sent food from the sky and water from a rock! We know that God provides for our needs because we have food to eat and water to drink when we need it!

Sometimes we struggle with knowing the difference between what we need and what we want. Some things we need include food, water, clothing, shoes and people who love us. We do not ever have to worry about having these things because God provides for our needs. Sometimes God does bless us with things we want, but we should always be happy with what we have, because God makes sure that we have what we need.

As you feed, bathe and clothe your child throughout the week, ask him or her who provides us with these things we need (food, clean water, clothes, etc.). Remind your child that God provides for your needs!

Keep practicing our Remember Verse. 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: Share With Others!

Every day we have things that we need, and we need others to share with us. Every day we also have something that we can share with others in need. Today we learned to Share With Others as we read about the woman in Shunem who shared her food and her home with Elisah in 2 Kings 4:8-17. When she shared with Elisha she did not expect anything in return. She shared because she loved God, and because of this good attitude, God blessed her beyond her wildest dreams by giving her a child!

Ask your kids how it makes them feel when others share with them. Remind them that they can make others feel that same way by sharing. Remind your child that EVERYTHING we have is something God has shared with us, and that because God has shared everything with us, we should be happy to share EVERYTHING we have with others.

One thing you can share with others is God’s word. It’s always good to memorize God’s word in case you want to share it with somebody and you do not have a Bible nearby. Practice and share our Memory Verse with someone this week:

“Anyone who hears and obeys these teachings of mine is like a wise person who built a house on solid rock. Rain poured down, rivers flooded, and winds beat against that house. But it did not fall, because it was built 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). Rain poured down, (wiggle fingers from up high to down low) rivers flooded, (palms up; lift hands from down low) and winds beat against that house. (sway side to side) But it did not fall, (stand/sit up straight and firm) because it was built on solid rock (pound fists on top of each other).” - Matthew 7:24-25 (hold up seven fingers)
