Read the Story from the Bible together as a family.
After you have read it, watch the Bible Story Video shown during the Sunday Kids Service. Questions will include conversations about the Bible story to allow you and your children to reflect on the biblical truth and share your thoughts about the video with each other.
Included are coloring pages, activity sheets, games, additional questions and ideas to engage with the Bible story further at home with your child.
Community Helper Dress-Up
WHAT YOU NEED: Dress-up clothes of community helpers (firefighters, doctors, etc.)
WHAT YOU DO: Invite children to choose a costume with a hat to wear and encourage them to look at themselves in the mirror after they get dressed. Encourage children to role-play as the characters they're dressed as.
