Kindergarten: Let’s Find Out About Worship
Thank you to the Colletta's for teaching this week while Rev. Sally is in the Holy Land.  She will be returning this week - continued prayers for safe travels!

The Church is a safe place to be.  Jesus in the Temple. 

Bible Story:  Luke 2:39-52

Some things about Jesus’ life as he grew up we know because of what life was like in Bible times.  Jesus grew up in Nazareth.  Jesus learned to be a carpenter from Joseph.  Beginning at age five he probably went to the synagogue school and studied the Scriptures with other boys of Nazareth.  In today’s story, Jesus was old enough to attend the special worship activities at the Temple during Passover with the rest of the men.  

What questions do you think Jesus asked the teachers at the Temple?  What questions would you want to know?

February Scripture Verse: We know that God has sent you to teach us.  You could not work these miracles, unless God were with you.  John 3:2, CEV

Bible Story:  Luke 5:1-11

Leap of Faith:  I know that God sent Jesus to teach me how to live.

Today’s story is about fish and the men who catch them.  Fishing was an important occupation in Bible times.  Fishermen had to know the different types of fish, the kinds of nets they could use and the importance of team work.  Fishermen of Bible times knew that if they didn’t work together, they could totally lose their catch of the day—or their boat.  As we hear the stories from the Bible, we are invited to be disciples of Jesus, too, to listen to his teachings and to know what God wants us to do.  What message do you hear?  How can you share that with others?

February Memory Verse: The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.  Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heave.  Give us this day our daily bread.  And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.

Bible Verse:

Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you.  Go in peace.” Luke 7:50

The Gospels tells about:  Forgiveness

Bible Story:     Luke 7:36-50  

Faith Direction:  Jesus shows us how to forgive others.

Jesus shows us how to offer and receive forgiveness in our relationships with others. 

Has there been a time when you have:

Received forgiveness from a family member?

Offered forgiveness to a family member?

Received forgiveness from a friend?

Offered forgiveness to a friend?

Is it easy or difficult to offer and receive forgiveness?  Why? How does offering and receiving forgiveness strengthen our relationship with other?  With God?
