ACTIVITY: STORY RETELL

WHAT YOU SAY: “Our true Bible story, today, was about a man named Paul. Paul went to a city called Athens so he could teach the people about God and His Son, Jesus. He taught them that God made the whole world and everything in it, including people. He taught them that God loves people so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to be their friend forever. And guess what? A lot of the people believed in Jesus! You can read all about it in the Bible. Paul made sure to write down some of his story so you and I can believe in Jesus, too” Tell me: “Who can believe in Jesus?” Family all together: “I can believe in Jesus!”

PRAYER: “Dear God, there is no one else like You. Only You could make the whole world and everything in it. Only You could make people. Only You could make all of space and the stars, sun, moon, and planets. You are AMAZING, God! And most of all, thank You for loving us so much that You gave us Jesus. We love You, God. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
