Unit 16 Session 4 - Daniel's Dream - June 20, 2021
Hey Kids!
Join us as Julia talks to us about building a firm foundation in God and not the world. Today, it’s Daniel’s turn for a dream. Let’s hear what God teaches Daniel in this dream!
Today is our last lesson before the summer! Next week Sunday morning, we will be meeting together on ZOOM for our year end celebration – we will be playing BINGO. If you have your activity pack, you’re all set for our game – bingo supplies are included. I will be emailing a link to parents this coming week as a reminder.
Please let me know if you would like to pick up an activity pack. I have also included our bingo game sheets today for you to print at home instead (you’ll need to print off a few copies if you don’t have a dry erase marker and plastic sheet protector).
Hope you’ll join us next week for our zoom bingo! Have a great week everyone!
Love, Mrs. Sheilla

Unit 16 Session 3 - Daniel in the Lions' Den - June 13, 2021
Hey Kids!
How many of you at home would be TERRIFIED to be thrown into a pit with LIONS!? How many of you would stop praying if it was illegal to pray? It’s an amazing story of God’s power and how Daniel trusted in God in a scary situation. Daniel didn’t stop praying because He loved God and trusted Him.
I am sure many of you have heard of this story already, but even if you have, watch it again with fresh eyes and open hearts and see what God reveals to you in this story!
Blessings to you all this week!
Love, Mrs. Sheilla

Hey Kids!
Do you remember your dreams when you wake up? Most of the time they are pretty silly and don’t mean anything. Today in our lesson, we will hear how God gave King Nebuchadnezzar a dream to get his attention – and he sure did! Watch our video to learn more!
*Don’t forget to pick up our kids activity pack so you can follow along with our activity at the end of our video! This week we are making silly potato grass heads! Contact me to get your pack. *
Have a wonderful week,

Unit 16 Session 1 - The Fiery Furnace - May 23, 2021
Hey Kids,
You don’t want to miss this special lesson today as Pastor Rudy AND Pastor Kevin make an appearance for our Trust Experiment! We had some silly results and discovered that our plans don’t always work out the way we want to… BUT we learn in our story today that we can and should trust God! Our lesson for today is about 3 friends who trusted God in a scary situation. It’s one of my favorite stories in the Bible. Click on the video below to watch!
Love, Mrs. Sheilla
Discussion Questions:
1. What can you do when you are faced with a problem?
2. Have you ever tried to stand strong and not follow what other are doing?
3. How does knowing God has power over everything make you feel?

Unit 15 Session 5 - Judah Taken Captive - May 9, 2021
Hey Kids!
Did you know that God says our hearts can be hard or soft? The people of Judah had hard heart towards God and turned away from Him. This led to Judah being captured by their enemies!
God was right to punish His people for their sin, but He kept His promise to provide a king through David’s family. Ultimately, God punished our sin through His Son, Jesus, and made Him our King forever.
Let’s listen to the story to learn more!
*Happy Mothers Day! We have a special Mother’s Day craft we will work on together today – watch to the end of the lesson video for instructions!*
Discussion Questions:
1. Why is obedience to God and our parents important?
2. Talk about a time when you didn’t listen to a warning. What happened? What did you learn?
3. Experiment! Make your own ooblek together and discuss how our hearts can be hard or soft!

Unit 15 Session 4 - Habakkuk the Prophet
Hey Kids!
This week we are focusing on Faith and Prayer. Join Miss Alexis as she introduces us to the prophet Habakkuk. Habakkuk asked the question that we all struggle with sometimes – “Why do bad things happen?”
Our activity at the end of the lesson will focus on writing letters to God – If you don’t want to write a letter, feel free to draw a picture about your questions or feelings instead!
Family Discussion Questions:
1. What promises are in this story to remember? How do they help us trust and love God?
2. Have you ever waited for something? How does waiting make you feel? Take turns praying for each other in a time of waiting.
3. After kids write or draw their prayers to God, ask them if they would like to share them with the family and then pray together.
Blessings to you all this week,
Love Mrs. Sheilla
