Verse of the Month
God’s way (point up)
is perfect! (two thumbs up)
2 Samual 22:31 (hold hands like an open book)
God gave us the words of the Bible to show us who He is!
Practice the verse a few times! In Mission Kids, we often practice saying it different ways, like sqeaky, SUPER LOUD, or with a roar!
Talk It Out
What was the name of the man in our story today? (Naaman)
Why was Naaman so important? (He was in charge of a big army.)
What happened to Naaman? (He got sick and got painful spots all over his skin.)
How do you feel when you get sick?
Who did Naaman go see? (Elisha)
When Naaman got there what did the servant tell him to do? (Go wash seven times in the river.)
How did that make Naaman feel? (He got very angry because he thought he was going to be healed right away. What the servant said to do was hard.)
What happened when Naaman decided to go God’s way? (He got better!)
Is it always easy to go God’s way? (no, it can be hard)
Tell me about a time you had to do something that was hard. Did it turn out to be good?
Who’s way is perfect? (God’s way is perfect!)
Pray Together
Before you pray, make a list of things that are hard to do but we know when we do them we go God’s way. (ex share our toys, tell the truth etc.) When you are done pray together using the one below or your own:
“Dear God, we want to jump, jump, and go Your way, but sometimes it’s hard. Please help us to (say your list). We know Your way is perfect, and it is always best to jump, jump, and go Your way. We love You, God. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
MAKE IT // ART ACTIVITY
What you need: Activity Pages (view/print below or grab from your May Church Kit), blue piece of construction paper, and scissors
What you do:
Cut out Naaman.
Cut a slit in the middle of the blue paper.
Dip Naaman in and out of the water seven times.
MOVE IT // ACTIVE ACTIVITY
What you need: Items from around your house to make an obstacle course
What you do:
Using the materials you gathered make an obstacle course for your kiddo.
You could use books to hop over, chairs to crawl under, etc.
Have them do it seven times.
When they are done, remind your kiddo, “You can follow God, and go God’s way, even when it’s hard. He will help us!”
YOU DID IT!
Continue the conversation all week by reminding each other of all the ways that God’s way is perfect!
