Welcome to Sonseekers …

Dear Parents

Welcome to Sonseekers, a Sunday School Program designed to give children a sound background in Biblical events, people and places. We trust that you, and your child, are blessed by participation in this program.

The curriculum has been produced by over 100 people who have voluntarily given of their time and talents to write, draw and create activities, as well as to edit, review and proof-read. We deeply appreciate the commitment and love shown by all who have contributed to this project. The benefit and blessing to children, as they learn about God’s life and love, is a testimony to their faithfulness.

However, the real key to children knowing God as their Father lies with their families. As parents train their children in God’s way, they begin to experience the reality of the Father’s love for themselves.

The Sonseekers program is designed to support and encourage family life and order. The Student Handbook is a feature of the program, offering follow up activities and daily devotions, which you may wish to use in your own family devotions.

May God bless and guide you as you share the Lord’s life with your child.

If you wish to know more about the Sonseekers program, please contact the publishers on the numbers listed.

Yours in Christ

The Sonseekers Team

What are the Sonseekers materials?The Sonseekers Sunday School materials are a four year course of 128 Bible lessons. The lessons are written with the twin aims of teaching the students an accurate chronology of Biblical events and also drawing from each lesson pastoral points relevant to the age and stage of each child. They are written at four levels to cover from pre-school to 12+ age groups. The 128 lessons are organised into 8 units, each of sixteen lessons. The table below indicates the suitable age group for each level:

After each lesson

Make sure that your child learns the memory verse from the lesson. ♦Have the child read the Bible passage for the lesson again or read it to him/her. The reference is ♦provided in the header on the homework activity page. All Scripture references are taken from the New King James Version (1983 edition).Discuss the story with the child and ask them what they learnt from the story. ♦Link the activity that the teacher used to the story so that the significance of the activity is clear to the ♦students.Set regular times each week for the child to complete the homework activity and daily devotions. ♦Give your child as much help and encouragement as they need to complete these tasks. This is an ♦opportunity to fellowship in the word of God with your child!Ensure that your child brings the handbook to class so that the teacher can check the homework and ♦mark the following week’s memory verse.Encourage your child to read ahead for the next lesson. ♦

May God bless you and guide you as parentsas you help your children in this way!

“And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom.” (II Timothy 4:18).

Imagine reading a newspaper that looked like this.Read Exodus 14:13-14 to find out what is missing.

The

God led His people out of Egypt by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. We all moved in order. Moses took the bones of Joseph with us. The Lord went in front of us during the day in a pillar of cloud and at night in a pillar of fire. Pharaoh thought that the wilderness had closed us in, so he sent his army and 600 of his choice chariots to pursue and overtake us. All of us were very bold, but we became afraid when the E gyptians marched after us. Many of us wished we had stayed in Egypt and we started to complain to Moses about it. God had spoken to Moses so he told us:

Moses did exactly what the Lord had commanded him to do. He stretched out his hand over the sea, the water parted and there was a wall on either side of us. This was a real miracle of God because we were all walking on dry ground. The pillar moved and stood between us and the Egyptians. The Egyptians still followed us into the middle of the sea. God looked down at the Egyptians and He began to trouble them. He took off their chariot wheels and they started to flee because they realised that God was fighting for us. The Lord then told Moses to stretch out his hand over the sea. The water returned to its full depth and covered up all the horsemen and all the army. All of us saw what happened and we can now really believe in our God and His servant Moses.
