Hi Parents!

Hi parents! Thanks for joining us for Church at Home. We are excited to offer you some fun resources to supplement the video service you watched with your toddler. Our toddler curriculum is unique in that it teaches the same lesson with varying activities over the course of a month to build familiarity and confidence in our littlest learners. These activities were designed for classroom teaching with your toddler’s weekend leaders at church, but can easily be adapted for fun at home, too! Just because we can’t meet, doesn’t mean we can’t still have fun engaging with the Bible story lesson. We love you and are cheering you on! Have fun learning about the Parable of the Farmer with your little ones!

This week, your toddler will get to grow their very own plant, just like the farmer in our Bible story! Help them cut and color their own greenhouse and watch your seeds grow big and strong, just like the ones planted in good soil in the Parable of the Farmer.

  4. When you belong to God’s family, who helps you be faithful? The Holy Spirit!
  5. How can you show faithfulness? God says what is right and true. We can be faithful to learn what God says by reading a Bible story every day. We can be faithful and tell others about God’s love.

  5. Is it easy to be faithful and do what is right no matter what? What are some things that make being faithful difficult? It not always easy to be faithful and do what is right. It can be scary to do what is right if other people are telling us no or are mean to us about it. But each time we do what is right and are faithful to God, we become more like him. He will help us. When we belong to God’s family, the spirit God gives is of power, love, and self-discipline.
  6. How can you remain faithful and do what is right? We can pray and talk to God and ask for his help. We can also talk to other people who love God, too. They can encourage us and help us know what to do when we don’t know what is right.
