What happened on May 4th?

This week, your children were taught that Church is where they can come to learn about God. Even Jesus went to church as a boy so He could learn about God.

Kit and Andi’s journey got off to a rocky start today when Andi unwittingly took a bite of a fruit that takes away a person’s voice. Soon after, the two discovered the “Knowledge Stone” and its puzzle. Normally, Andi was the one who explained the Bible story and solved the puzzle, but without a voice it was impossible. For the first time on this journey, Kit had to read the Bible story and solve the puzzle.

The Bible story this week is found in Luke chapter 2 and it tells a story about Jesus when he was 12 years old. Jesus and His family had traveled to Jerusalem for the Passover festival. When the festival ended, the family started traveling back home. Jesus’ parents thought that He was with the rest of the group, but it turns out that He wasn’t. They didn’t know where Jesus was. Eventually His parents headed back to Jerusalem and looked all over the city for three days. They finally found Jesus at the temple sitting with the religious leaders, asking them questions. He was learning about God. He explained to His parents that he was supposed to be there. Jesus showed us that it is important to learn about God, and church is where we can accomplish that. Eventually, Andi’s voice returned and they set out on the rest of their journey.

Church is an extremely important part of your child’s life. It is here that your child will make friendships, have fun, and most importantly, learn about God. This will help them have the best life possible. Please make it possible for your children to attend church regularly.

Talk to your child about the reasons you choose to attend church personally. Talk to your child about the things that you learned in Sunday School and the worship service. Read the story about Jesus learning about God in Luke 2 and talk about it with your child.
