Week 10 Samuel

 Watch https://youtu.be/P13uIsFW7OA?feature=shared

Talk about Samuel hearing God's voice and tell the children that God still speaks to people today. Do you remember when we talked about Jesus being our shepherd? We are like the sheep and the sheep (that's us) know the voice of the shepherd (that's Jesus)

At first Samuel heard a voice but didn't know it was God.  He had to practice listening.  And he had to ask an older person, Eli, for help.

Just like Samuel we can hear God speak.  God has given us the Bible which is where His words are written down. This is why it's important for us to read and know the Bible.  What time of day did God speak to Samuel?  At night time.  God still speaks to people at night time, sometimes in a dream. Can you think of someone in the Bible who heard God in a dream ? (Joseph in O.T. re brothers Joseph in NT re flight to Egypt)

Let's see how good we are at listening ( animal sounds quiz)

Play a game where everyone lies down to sleep and adult whispers one child's name.  They have to get up and sit with the adult (maybe they can choose next child to call up)

Nativity 1 angels

Who knows what month it is? Its December.  Who knows what season it is ? Its winter.  Who knows what happens at the end of this month, on December 25th? Does anyone know why we celebrate Christmas?  Because it's Jesus's birthday!! Today we are going to find out what happened before Jesus was born because lots of amazing things happened. Let's watch this story. https://youtu.be/XkEypzmHwCI?feature=shared   (After watching, ask some questions about the story  especially mentioning the angels) Angels are God's special friends. They live in heaven with God and normally we cant see them. But sometimes God sends them to people with a special message. He sent an angel to Mary and she could see the angel and talk to it. Joseph had a dream about an angel. The angels both had a message from God.  What did the angels say?  That God was going to send a baby into Mary's tummy and that the baby was going to be Jesus. We are going to find out what happened next, next...

Week 12 Gideon

Watch  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3CDZjpkDKU     Remind the child of Gideon and his call to be a judge and conquer the Midianites . Ask the child if Gideon was excited or scared when God called him . Point out that the army of the Midianites was very large and  strong .  Ask the child if they think a big or a small army would be better to defeat an enemy with lots of soldiers .  Point out that God told Gideon to make the army smaller so that everyone would know that God alone  gave Gideon the victory . Remind the child that God still can provide people who trust Him with the  victory .  Put out a bowl of water and tell your child to take a drink ( this is better done outside to avoid a mess ) . Depending on how your child chooses to drink , you can talk about whether or not he would have been part of Gideon's army . Point out that if someone drinks with their face in the water , they cannot see what is going on around them . Talk about ...

Week5Joseph

  Talk time: Who here has brothers? Who has sisters? Who has no brothers or sisters? Do you like your siblings? Whats the best things about them? Any downsides? If we dont have brothers and sisters we can have friends instead.  God says He will always give us people who love us and look out for us. Lets say thank you to God for our brothers and sisters and our friends. (write down the names of all siblings so we can name them all - I think nearly all our kids have at least one) Lesson: Today we are going to learn about someone in the Bible who had LOTS of brothers. Lets have a listen to his story.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnlqKPIZQzI  This is a 3 minute video telling the story up to Joseph being sold. You can stop at the end and talk about how mean the brothers were and how Joseph felt - the video which follows on is another 3mins talking about Joseph in Egypt. It would be good to watch both if possible. If they cant concentrate for 6 mins this is only ...
