Welcome to GrowKids Online!
We are going to spend this month talking about the legacy that Jesus has left for us . . . which is the Holy Spirit!
READ IT | TODAY’S BIBLE STORY
INSTRUCTIONS: Read Acts 8:26-40 all about
ACTIVITIES
MEMORIZE IT
INSTRUCTIONS: Romans 8:14 (NIV)
Write one word from the memory verse onto upside down cupsLine up the cups in order on a table (you might want to spread them out over two tables if possible). Have kids read and recite the verse together once. Then have kids take turns tossing bean bags to knock a cup off the table. Each time one cup gets knocked over, put it away and recite the whole verse together and supply the missing word. Keep going until all the cups have been knocked over and the group is able to recite the whole verse with you without any cups present.
DO IT
INSTRUCTIONS:Make a time capsule that kids can open one year from now (or however long you decide!). Have kids fill out and draw on the Time Capsule printable then seal it inside an envelope. Write “Do not open until [Year]” on the front. You could choose to put all their responses in a canister or let them and hide it to find again in the future. Imagine yourself in the future as a grownup. Do you think you will know God way better than you do now?
When you were learning to do something, like learning how to use the potty or learning how to walk, was someone there to teach you?Just like someone was there to teach you, the Holy Spirit is always there to help us learn about God.
The Holy Spirit helps us want to know God.
PRAY IT
Dear God, thank you for knowing us so well. Thank you for sending the Holy Spirit to help us so people can know you better. Thank you for loving us! Amen.
