This week In Preschool & Lower
Elementary...
CNX Kids learned: ” God will take care of me!”
This Sunday, CNX kids had fun talking about the
love that God has for each of them.
Through their reading of 1
Kings 17:1-6, kids learned how God took care of Elijah by sending Ravens with
food. Even though Elijah was hiding in a far away place, God kept him safe and
gave him food to eat and water to drink. God took care of Elijah and God will
take care of us, too!
To remember this lesson,
preschoolers and lower elementary students made bird feeders to take home with
them.
CNX Kids learned: I need to unpack what God is telling me with others.
Today in CNX Kids, Kids learned through the story
of Joseph interpreting Pharaoh’s dream that we need other people to help us unpack
what God is telling us. Then, they reviewed the circle and had the chance to
discuss personal kairos with their classmates.

It’s easy to forget all the things God does to take
care of us. This month, use your drive time to help you and your child
remember. Take a few moments to pray when you get in the car or when you arrive
where you are going. Pray for and thank God for things like: safety, a car to
drive, money to buy groceries, teachers that help us learn, doctors to help us
feel better, libraries to check out books, money to buy clothes, etc. Before
you know it, you and your child
will see God at work all around you!

us what we need. Thank You for loving us and taking care of us. In Jesus’
name, amen.”

Get all the advice and instruction you can so that
you can be wise the rest of your life. — Proverbs 19:20 (NLT)
Try out the following activity:
This week sit down and work a puzzle together. Talk
about how sometimes puzzles can be hard, but that if you work together with
your friends or family, you can help each other put all of the pieces in place.
Talk to your kids about the fact that when God speaks to us, it can be a little
confusing, like a puzzle, but that God gives us friends and family to help us
put all of the pieces together and figure it out. Share an example from your
life about how God got your attention with a Scripture or a circumstance and
how you unpacked it with another person to help you to put what God was telling
you into action.
