Hello children and parents! While we cannot gather, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Each week we'll send fun ideas for living & learning faith at home. God bless you!
1) Sunday School Lesson - A New Way to See
Saul sees Jesus!
Saul didn't believe Jesus was God's Son.
It took a miracle to help him see the truth.
Have you ever changed how you looked at something?
Did that make you change your mind about it?
Check out our video and see what happened to Saul to make him change his name to Paul!
2) Activity: Get Moving
Everyone loves to play Follow the Leader!
Use this game to discuss the video lesson and have some silly fun!

  • You'll need: at least 2 people and an imagination!

  • Play Follow the Leader - switch off leading each other around the room or outside with different funny walks, hops, skips, and crawls. The sillier, the better, and bonus points for sound effects! The people behind the leader must try to replicate the leader perfectly! Have fun, cut loose, let your child see you enjoying this time with them!

  • Teaching Tip: Point out that Saul thought that following the rules to be perfect was the most important thing in life. Ask your child what they thought was the best part of the game. Chances are it will be something funny you did or just the fun of being together - the relationship not the rules! (Jesus thinks the same thing!)
3) Activity: Guessing Game
An easy one to do anytime of day!
We played this on Sunday in Kids' Church. It was a hit!

  • You'll need: at least 2 people, a blindfold, random items.

  • Choose someone to either be blindfolded or keep their eyes closed.

  • Have the other person pick an object to describe, while the blindfolded person guesses what it is.

  • After they guess correctly, let them see the object.

  • Switch places and have fun!

  • Teaching Tip: Saul had heard about Jesus from others, but until he had a personal encounter with him, he didn't really understand what Jesus was like. It's the same when you have on the blindfold! You hear about the object and can even guess it, but until you see it and experience it for yourself, it's not as real to you!
4) Kids' Church - LIVE! NEW TIME!
Set your alarm for Sunday at 9:30am.
Raise your hand if you want your child to have a relationship with Jesus!

Join Katie Freer and Lesli Drewry for a Kids Church lesson online! We'll have music, a game, a Bible lesson, and a chance to check-in and say hi! Invite your friends and spread the word.

Look for the Zoom link in the Sunday morning email.
5) Magic Eye!
Anyone else remember when these were popular?
Here's a fun activity to do with your child! See if you can find the hidden image in the Magic Eye picture above.

Put your face close to the screen, relax your eyes, try to look through the screen, slowly move your face away from the screen, and a 3D image in the pattern magically appears!

Hint: Gone Fishin'
