Birth-Prek June

June
We have been learning all about Moses and his story in the month of June.  The first week we learned that the Israelites prayed to God and he answered their prayers by sending Baby Moses.  That week for a craft we colored a baby Moses.  The second week of June we learned more about Baby Moses's life and how he ended up living in the palace.  We colored a basket that week and put our baby Moses from the last week in it.  This was just like what Moses' mom had to do when he was a baby to save him. Last Sunday we learned that God told Moses his plan for his life by talking to him through a burning bush.  This upcoming Sunday we will be starting a new curriculum!

*I attached the take home sheets from the first and second week in June.  On Father's Day there was not a take home sheet passed out.

June 5th- Help!
Memory Verse: “I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.” – Psalm 116:1
Lesson:  Today we learned that after Joseph passed away a new Pharaoh came to rule in Egypt.  He was nervous about the power the Israelites had so he made them his slaves.  But they prayed to God and he sent a baby named Moses!   
Craft: We are doing a two-part craft this week and next.  They will wait & bring home the completed craft next week!
Extend: God hears out prayers too!  Spend time this week talking about prayer with your child and praying with them.     


June 12th- No Ordinary Baby

Memory Verse: “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” - Ephesians 2:10


Lesson:  An Israelite woman in Egypt had a baby boy but was forced to put him in a basket and give him up.  The baby’s name was Moses and thankfully God had a plan for him! The pharaoh’s daughter found the basket and Moses grew up in the palace.    



Look Up!  Remind your child that even if they feel ordinary sometimes, God made them to do big things in His kingdom.  God’s love and power make them special.
