This week children learn Jesus invites us into a dynamic relationship. He helps us grow- and He offers us full participation in His work and mission on earth. What a privilege - to be entrusted with taking Christ's message to others!
Ask your children;
- Why do people need to know about Jesus?
- What's the best way for you to help people understand who Jesus is?
- Bible Point: God wants us to tell the world about Jesus.
Bible Story: Jesus Returns to Heaven (Matthew 28:16-20; Acts 1:1-11)
Key Verse: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I will be with you always, to the very end of the age." (Matthew 28:19-20)
PRESCHOOL Play and Pray
For many preschoolers, talking on the telephone is a special event. Help your child think of someone special he or she would like to tell about Jesus. Then make the call for your preschooler. For example, your child might choose to call a grandparent and say, "Jesus wants us to tell the whole world about him."
ELEMENTARY Truths
Watch a sports event, concert, or TV show with your elementary-age child. Then encourage your child to talk about people he or she admires, from sports heroes and actors to teachers and neighbors. Talk about how these people affect others. Then talk about the effect we can have on people when we help them understand who Jesus is.
Time with TEENAGERS
Go with your teenager to a school or community event - perhaps a baseball game, a concert, or a play - or go to watch your teenager participate in something. Talk about the many talents ordinary people have and how these talents might be used to help more people know the good news of Jesus. Thanks for making this investment in your teenager's life!
