Main Focus: God Calls Us His Own
Paul in Ephesis

(Acts 119; Ephesians 1)

Anticipate: "Animal Hunt" 

God created us to never stop learning or observing. He made us just like Himself! And as we grow up we learn details about things that we take for granted. Most of us have been learning about animals since we were

very little. Because we know how many kinds there are, we can use their attributes to figure out which animal it is even without seeing a picture.

Memory Verse: 

“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”                                          —Acts 4:12

Paul wrote his letter to the church in Ephesus to encourage them to stay true and rejoice in their identity in Jesus Christ.  For believers are chosen, forgiven, redeemed and called to do His good work.  We belong to God.  And He calls us His master piece.  The salvation we have in Him is precious and something to treasure.  Knowing that we belong to Him gives us hope and strength.

Respond: "Being A Creator"

Now its our turn to create something! As you are following instructions and making your animals think about how much MORE difficult and complex it was for God to create the instructions and then make YOU inside your Mom. He spent more time and more care doing that than you will creating these animals and He made sure He got it RIGHT! So when you take these home remember that even as they are your creations, you are God’s precious creation.

Bless:

“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”                                          —Acts 4:12

May our children know, through Jesus, that they've been chosen to be God's own and that He loves them just as they are.
