"Watching" the Service

This past Sunday the 1st - 3rd graders watched most of the sermon in the children's chapel.  We can now show the service live in the children's chapel.

This is part of our effort to help the kids learn to be part of the service with their families and the church.  They had a note sheet.

Talk to 1st, 2nd or 3rd graders about the message and how it can be lived out.

The plan is to have the children in the service with their families on August 31.

Family Worship Guide for the week of August 3rd

See previous the "Watching" post for info about what the 1st - 3rd graders did during service time.

Title:  God uses Esther to protect the Jews

Passage:  Esther

Principle:  Believers trust in God’s plan, power and protection.

Prompt:  Ask your child these questions:

· How did Esther become Ahasuerus’s queen?

· What events led to God’s protection of the Jews?

Practice: Help your child apply these truths in the following ways:

· By praising God, who controls every event.

· By being courageous in doing the right thing.

Memory verse:
