We use the New International Readers Version (NIrV). When purchasing a Bible for your child, consider this translation, It’s perfect for
K-6th grades. We memorize different verses for different lengths of time, depending on the series and the difficulty of the verse. Test your
child and see if they can recite the verse to you (and show you the motions, too - that’s the fun and silly part).
Tips to reinforce the lesson and create application.
Devotionals for each day of the week with a fun activity. Create a tradition that will have a lasting impact on their life.
Spells out the entire lesson and the points that were taught.

Sunday’s Theme: Healthy Relationships - Being Godly at Home
The following lesson is taken directly from our Sunday morning curriculum, as the teachers’ see it. This will show you what your child learned on Sunday morning. The words in red are stage direc:ons, media instruc:ons and teachers’ notes. The lesson por:on is taught in a large group se<ng by Pastor Phil. A@er the main lesson Children are separated by age groups, and broken down into small groups of 8-­‐10 kids for a more detailed review of the lesson with a small group teacher. Sunday’s Curriculum: We will con*nue to talk about our spiritual roles. This week we will learn that our spiritual role at home and with the people in our family will look different than our role in public. I want to start our lesson with a Bible story. (House lights go down and stage lights come up –P03, 1,1) Bible Story: (I will have s*ck puppets of Joseph and all of his brothers) There once was a man named Jacob. Jacob loved God, and God loved Jacob. He had 12 sons, and they were all sheep farmers (put sheep on some of the cans). The sons were all different ages. Some were old. Some were young. The Bible tells us that there were 12 brothers, and Benjamin was the baby. But, in this story, it doesn’t say for sure if he was born yet. Some really smart Bible teachers believe that Ben was probably 10 years old and was at home with his father when all this happened. Other really smart Bible teachers believe he wasn’t born yet. Either way, the Bible doesn’t say, so we’ll take Benny out of today’s story. Say, “bye Benny”. Jacob loved all his sons, but one son he loved the most. (Put heart on Joseph’s can.) His name was Joseph. Joseph was the second youngest brother. Jacob even told all the other sons that Joseph was his favorite, and he gave Joseph a coat of many colors, which was very expensive (Put fabric on with magnet). He didn’t give any of the other sons a coat. All of this made Joseph’s brothers dislike him.(Put magnet of joseph X’d out on some of the cans). Now Joseph, he had a giV. God gave him the ability to understand dreams; his own and other peoples. One day he said to his brothers, (Put on magnet of wheat stalk) “Guys, guys! I had this dream that we were all in the field bundling up stalks of wheat. My bundle of wheat suddenly stood up nice and tall, and all of your bundles gathered around and bent down, just like they were bowing to it.” This made the brothers furious! “Do you really think you are going to be like a king and rule over us??!! We would never bow down to you.” (Put on crown X’d out). Do you think that this was a good idea for Joseph to tell his brothers that he thought they would bow to him someday? No! Even though all this was true and Joseph loved God and would be a great man someday, he should not brag. He was not being humble. God wanted him to be humble. But, Joseph was so excited about understanding his dreams that he didn’t think about the consequences of telling people they would bow to him. He had another dream, and sure enough, he told his family. (Put on magnet of sun, moon and stars). “Last night I dreamed the sun, the moon, and eleven stars bowed down to me!!” He was so excited! WHAT A DREAM!!! Sunday’s Theme: Healthy Relationships - Being Godly at Home
But again, he was being arrogant by telling his family the dream. That is the opposite of humble. His dad, Jacob, was furious and said, “What do you mean? Are you saying your mother and I will bow down to you too?” This newest dream made his brothers even more furious (put on more magnets of Joseph X’d out) and jealous! One day, all the older brothers were out tending to the sheep in a town nearby. Jacob told Joseph, “Go and help your brothers. See what they are doing, and report back to me. So, Joseph went. When the brothers saw him walking toward them in the field, they became angry. “Here comes the hero of his dreams!” They hated him so much they began to plot a way to kill him! One brother, his name was Rueben, he loved Joseph and didn’t want to kill him. It made him sad that his brothers were planning something so awful. He said to his brothers, “Let’s not kill him. Instead, let’s dump him in that dried up well over there in the field”. Rueben’s plan was to come back later and rescue Joseph when his brothers weren’t around. When Joseph finally made it to where the brothers were, they grabbed him, took his coat and threw him in the well! (Pick up the Joseph can and dump in the metal trash can.) Later, some of them were ea*ng in the field. They looked up and saw a bunch of men and their camels coming. They had all kinds of spices and goods they were going to trade in Egypt. Judah said, “Hey! “If we kill him, we get nothing. Why don’t we sell him to these guys as a slave?”. (Put money bag magnet on Judah). So, they pulled Joseph up and sold him. Later, Rueben came to the well to get his brother out, but he was gone. Rueben was so sad and angry. He cried and screamed and wept for his brother. Rueben went back to the brothers and told them Joseph was gone. They didn’t tell Rueben what they’d really done with Joseph. The brothers took Joseph’s colorful coat and tore a piece of it off, and they dipped it in goat’s blood. They took the piece of coat to their dad and said that Joseph had been a`acked by a wild animal. Jacob looked at the fabric and knew it was Joseph’s. He cried and wept. He was very sad to lose his favorite son. He mourned for days and days. No one could cheer him up. Meanwhile, back in Egypt, Joseph was sold as a slave to a very important person in Pharaoh’s castle. Joseph had a long road ahead of him, but he loved and obeyed God. Joseph’s story will end well! The End. (House lights come back up stage light go to BLACK OUT mode.) Last week, we learned that your role as a Chris*an is to be a Godly kid! Today, I want to show you how important that role of being a Godly kid is when you are at home with your family. Do you think that Joseph’s brothers were ac*ng out their role of being Godly boys? No! They let jealousy and hate ruin their family. But, one of them was different. Who do you think was trying to have a Godly influence on Joseph? Rueben, that’s right. Rueben went against his brothers and tried to do the right thing. Out of 12 people in their home, only one wanted to do the right thing
Sunday’s Theme: Healthy Relationships - Being Godly at Home
I want you all to be like Rueben when you are at home, EVEN IF everyone else in your home isn’t. This is hard, but God will bless you and reward you if you do things his way. Today’s *ps will help you play out your Godly role at home. Lesson Points I am going to give you 3 *ps for being a Godly kid at home. 1. PRAY FOR THEM Prayer is not something you only do at dinner and bed*me. Prayer is constantly talking to God. When you are at home, you should pray for your family and the things they are going through. -­‐Pray for their needs. If you know your parents are stressed, pray. Pray for your siblings. -­‐Pray when you are in tough situa*ons with them, and things are not going well. 2. LIVE IN PEACE The Bible tells us to be peaceMAKERS. The word make is the key here. If things are hard or situa*ons are in chaos, you must look for ways to MAKE PEACE. -­‐Don’t start fights. -­‐Don’t fight back. 3. FIX IT I think one of the biggest mistakes most Chris*ans make is that we spend a bunch of *me figuring out what our stuggles or sins are, but we don’t act quickly to fix them. Some things take a lot of *me, but they won’t ever get be`er un*l you begin to make changes. Fix what you know is wrong. -­‐If you are figh*ng all the *me with your siblings, begin to fix it now! -­‐If you argue with your parents start fixing it now. . -­‐If you are disobedient, fix it now. Let’s review these *ps for being a Godly kid at home: 1. Pray For Them 2. Live in Peace 3. Fix It Great job! Remember that we will not have any groups tonight since the fair is star*ng. No FPC, Grapple or Movement. Also, no connect groups for the adults this week. So, if you go into childcare here at the church during your parents Connect Group, remind them there are no groups during Fairfield County Fair Week. Let’s go into our small groups now. Let’s pray. Small Groups - Craft/Discussion Time
Below is the small group guide, taken directly from our curriculum. This guide is used by each small group teacher with a group of 8-­‐10 children of the same age range. Please conduct your group in the order shown. Today’s focus point: We all have roles in life. God’s role for kids is to be as Godly as possible. Ge;ng to know Him now, so they are closer and closer to Him as they mature in their faith! This week, we focused on being Godly at home. K-­‐6TH GRADE GROUP SCHEDULE:

Sunday’s Preschool Theme:
Theme - Joseph and His Coat
Today, we discussed the story of Daniel. He always made God his priority and God protected him.
Video: Joseph and His Coat
Our video today comes from the READ AND SHARE DVD BIBLE. We use this video series for most of our weekly
themes. If you would like a good DVD Preschool Bible video set, this is a good one and is available at christianbook.com
for $20.99.
Reading Time: Joseph and His Coat Joseph was one of Jacob’s twelve sons. Jacob loved him more than
all of his other sons.
Jacob made Joseph a colorful robe. His brothers were jealous. They
wanted nice robes too, and they wanted to be loved as much as
Joseph was loved.
Joseph had a dream. He told his family, “We were bundling grain from
the field. Your bundles of grain bowed down to mine.”
Then Joseph had another dream. He said, “This time, the sun and
moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” His father asked,
“Does this mean our family will bow down to you someday?”
The brothers were even more angry. They threw Joseph into a dry
well.
Along came some traders. The brothers sold Joseph to them as a
slave.
They lied to their father and said Joseph had been killed by a wild
animal. But God was with Joseph.
Story taken from The Read & Share Bible
Preschool - Throughout the week
-Remind your child to talk to God when they are scared. He is always there and always listens.
Daily Family Devotions:
Use the devotions to help your child start a daily routine of thinking about God and
what He wants for their life. Add things to the devotionals, or use your own.
There’s no right or wrong way to spend time with God.
Some of the devotionals will require basic supplies. Read ahead so you have what you need for the next day.
Sunday, October 9
READ OUT LOUD: “Children, obey your parents as believers in the Lord. Obey them because it’s
the right thing to do.” Ephesians 6:1
Read out loud: Parents: Take time at the beginning of this devotional and let the kids answer these questions. Do you
obey your parents? How often do you disobey at home? Do you think it makes God happy or sad when you don't listen or
obey? Do you think your parents are happy or sad when you don't listen or obey them?
God gave you to your parents to take care of, and He wants them to give you rules to keep you safe. God has also given
rules to your parents to keep their minds and hearts safe.
Activity: Prayer Time Supplies: a piece of paper and a pen for each person
Have each person take a couple minutes and think of a time when they disobeyed someone (i.e., parents, a teacher,
God, a boss). Write it down on your piece of paper. Ask God to forgive you for what you have done. Then have everyone
put it in the middle and have someone pray over them. Have the person who prayed over them rip them up and put them
in a trash can. Activity Point: Remember God has taken all of our sins and has forgiven us. When we all obey and trust
God, it makes our homes and our lives better.
PRESCHOOL: Read the story written in the parent pack about Joseph and his coat.
Preschool Activity: After you read the story, talk about the craft they did in their class.
Monday, October 10
READ OUT LOUD: “Don’t live the way this world lives. Let your way of thinking be completely
changed. Then you will be able to test what God wants for you. And you will agree that what he
wants is right. His plan is good and pleasing and perfect.” Romans 12:2
Read out loud: Have you ever started watching your favorite TV show, and the adult in charge of the kids ask them to do
something? In the show, do the kids give them attitude? Does this make you sometimes act like this too? What if your mom
comes in and asks you to go clean your room? Instead of listening to her, you start to have an attitude toward her. That
means you are living like the world lives and causing chaos in your house. This isn't what God wants for you. He wants you
to choose what is right, and follow what your parents are asking you to do. This makes your household peaceful.
Activity Game: Simon Says Supplies: none needed
Pick one person to be “it” and play Simon Says. Play until everyone has a chance to be “it.” Activity Point: Do you
remember in the “Hit the Street” series, Pastor Phil taught us on the “fruit of the spirit”? When he was teaching us about
peace, the bad fruit was chaos. He said sometimes we cause the chaos in our lives. Let’s try to live in a way that brings
peace, not chaos to those around us and ourselves! Choose to live like Jesus.
PRESCHOOL: Jacob had twelve sons. One of his sons was Joseph, and he loved him very much.
God loves you and gave you to your parents. Parents show them how much you love them.
Preschool Activity: Cut out enough hearts or get enough heart stickers that each person can have 5 of them. Put all of the hearts
on the ground. When you say go, each person has to get 5 hearts on them. The first person to get all of their 5 “love” hearts on
them wins.
Tuesday, October 11
READ OUT LOUD: “Work at everything you do with all your heart. Work as if you were working for
the Lord, not for human masters.” Colossians 3:23
Read out loud: Have you ever decided that you were going to clean your room before your mom asks you too? How did she
react? Have you ever done your chores before your dad asks? How did he react?
Doing things before your parents ask you to do them causes them to have a happy heart. Doing chores with all your heart
sounds silly, but it shows those in your home that you care about them. When you do things for others willingly, it shows them
Jesus. How does it make you feel when others do things for you without being asked?
Activity: Random Act of Kindness Supplies: none needed
Decide together as a family what you would like to do as a “random act of kindness.” Before the end of the week, put
your plan into action. Have fun and do it with a happy heart. Activity Point: Remember, everything we do should be
with our whole heart. Remember who we are doing it for…Jesus.
PRESCHOOL: Jacob loved Joseph so much that he made him a colorful robe. Joseph’s other brothers were
jealous because they wanted a colorful coat too. Does God want us to be jealous of other people?
Preschool Activity- Have an adult make a robe picture for each person to color. Once everyone is done coloring have everyone
move their picture to the middle of the table with no name. Have everyone vote on the one they like the most. The winner gets a
special snack. If someone starts to say “thats not fair”, remind them that God doesn't want us to be jealous of other people.
Wednesday, October 12
READ OUT LOUD: “A person’s wisdom makes them patient. They will be honored if they forgive
someone who sins against them.” Proverbs 19:11
Read out loud: Have you ever been so mad at your parents and siblings that you cry, scream, or pout? Do you make
everyone feel bad in the house and cause stress? God wants us to be patient with our family, give them grace, and
forgive them when we feel like they've been mean. Have you ever been playing with a toy and your sibling comes in
and grabs it from you? How do you feel? Do you want to punch them, yell, and tell mom on them? In this moment, you
need take a deep breathe, ask God to help you, and let your sibling have the toy. I know that seems crazy, but you will
get it back eventually, and you will cause peace in your house.
Activity: Time’s Up Supplies: object from your house (ball, small pillow, etc.), container
Each person choose one item from your house. The object of the game is to get your item into the container and keep
everyone else’s out. Set a timer to one minute, and make sure it makes a noise when it goes off. Everyone start
putting their item in the container while at the same time trying to get everyone else’s item out. Whoever has their item
in the container when the timer goes off, wins! Activity Point: Taking other peoples’ items causes chaos, but thinking
of others and letting them have their way will bring peace. This is a hard thing to do, but this will show Jesus’s love if
you act different in your home.
PRESCHOOL: Joseph had two dreams. In one dream, his brothers grain was bowing down to his grain. The
next dream was the sun, moon and eleven stars were bowing to him. Joseph’s dad, Jacob, asked “Does this
mean we will all be bowing to you someday?” God had a special plan for Joseph. Do you think God has a plan for you?
Preschool Activity: Have everyone line up in a straight line with two balls at the beginning. Everyone must bend down
the whole game. If they stand up straight, they are out. The first person will bend down and move the ball to the next
person. The next person will bend down and move it to the next. So on and so forth until you get your two objects to
the end.
Thursday, October 13
READ OUT LOUD: “Why do you fight and argue among yourselves? Isn't it because of your
sinful desires? They fight within you.” James 4:1
Read out loud: How do you and your siblings get along in your house? How do you and your parents get along in
your house? Is there constant yelling and arguing? How much of this is caused by you? God wants to be first in our
lives so He can help us calm down when situations start to feel overwhelming. If you feel like you are going to yell, ask
your parent to give you a minute and walk away so you can ask God to help you. Come back to the situation and
explain to your family that you were going to get mad, but instead of yelling, you wanted to talk to God first. He will
help you in every situation even if you get angry.
Activity: Hot and Cold Supplies: LCC ball
Have one person go hide the LCC ball somewhere in the house. Then have everyone start looking for the ball
together. Tell them if they are getting “hot” or “cold” by yelling it at them. The person who finds the LCC ball gets to go
hide it again. Play until everyone gets to hide the ball. Activity Point: Sometimes our anger is like being “hot” or
“cold.” When we are “hot,” we are yelling or angry. When we are “cold,” our anger is just sitting there. God wants us to
bring both those moments to Him so He can help us get through the situation with our family.
PRESCHOOL: Joseph’s brothers were so angry at Joseph that they threw him into an empty well. Do you think
Joseph was scared? Who do you think Joseph should pray to to help him?
Preschool Activity: Empty a trash can that is pretty deep or use a bucket. Have each person get an army man, barbie
or lego man. Take turns trying to throw the person in the “well”. Talk about how Joseph must have felt in the “well”.
Friday, October 14
READ OUT LOUD: “Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long time in the land the
Lord your God is giving you.” Exodus 20:12
Read out loud: God wants you to honor your mother, father, or adult in charge of you. That doesn't just mean obeying with a bad
attitude, it also means serving or doing your chores with a good attitude. If your mom asks you to do the dishes while you are
playing your games system, do you get up and huff around the house before you obey? Or do you stop as soon as she asks and
go do them without getting mad? This is honoring your mom by putting her above your game. God wants us to do the same for
Him. He wants to be first in our lives so He can help us honor our parents.
Activity: Picture fun Supplies: a piece of paper for each kid, and things to color with
Have each kid take a minute and draw a picture of each adult in their house. Then have them write three things that
they love and are thankful about. Hang them on the fridge or on the bathroom mirror as a reminder of what your family
thinks of you. Activity Point: Honoring your parents and adults in charge of you doesn't just mean obeying because
we have to. It means obeying because we know it pleases God and it is the right thing to do.
PRESCHOOL: Joseph’s brothers got him out of the well and sold him to some traders as a slave. How do you
think Joseph felt? Who do you think Joseph should pray to? Do you think God will help him?
Preschool Activity: Have everyone get into a line. Have the first person be the line leader. Whatever they do everyone
in the line has to follow. If someone in the lines doesn't follow, they are out. Play until everyone is the line leader.
Saturday, October 15
READ OUT LOUD: “If you love me, obey my commands.” John 14:15
Read out loud: Putting God first in our relationships with our family makes those relationships better. It doesn't mean
that everything is going to perfect. Some weeks everything can feel like it is out of control, but we know that God is still
there. Other weeks we feel like we are all getting along and we are the best family EVER. No matter what is going on,
God is in all situations when we ask Him to be there. When we love God first and obey His rules, it makes it easier to
love our family and obey the rules in our house.
Activity: Rule Night Supplies: pen and paper
Everyone come up with two family rules that are funny. (You can only hop to the bathroom, you can only use a fork to
eat, etc.) Have one person write the rules down and put the list on the fridge for the week. Have fun! Activity Point:
God gave us rules to protect us, not to be mean. In the same way, our parents or the adults in our lives give us rules to
protect us. When we love God and our family, we want to follow the rules He gave us in the Bible.
PRESCHOOL: Joseph’s brothers lied to their father Jacob and told him that Joseph was killed by an animal. God
doesn't want us to lie, because it makes people sad. Do you think Jacob was sad? Who do you think will help
Jacob? Who do you think will help Joseph?
Preschool Activity: Have everyone sit together and talk about anything you want to pray about, happy or sad. Then
pray for each person. Teach your preschooler that we go to God when things are happy or sad.
Reminder: Everywhere you see the
ORANGE tree in the Parent Pack
indicates a Preschool age activity.
