Bible Story: Jesus Feeds the 5,000 | John 6:1-15
Main Point: Love Gives!
Memory Verse: “This is love for God: to keep his commands.” 1 John 5:3a (NIV)

Lesson Overview

It was another beautiful day high up in the sky with Sunny the Cloud! We ran into our friend Purple Parrot flying circles around the Two by Two cruise ship. Purple Parrot told us it was LOVE WEEK and Purple Parrot was flying laps in the sky to give love to Water Missions International!

 
Down on the Two by Two cruise ship, Sydney, Shelby, Aunt Jessie and all the travelers were walking around the deck of the ship for a Water Walk to give love to an organization called Water Missions International. Water Missions has a goal to get clean water for families who don’t have access to clean water. After learning about Water Missions, Quest had it’s own walk for water to earn money so people could have clean drinking water!

God tells us to share what we have with one another, just like Jesus did when he used a small boy’s lunch to feed 5,000 people. Jesus showed love to the people and fed them when they were hungry! As we served the families being helped by Water Missions, we gave love by helping people get clean drinking water. We learned “Love Gives!” by serving during Love Week and hearing our Bible story about Jesus feeding the 5,000!

Bible Story: Noah Waited | Genesis 8:2-13
Main Point: I Will Be Patient!
Memory Verse: “This is love for God: to keep his commands.” 1 John 5:3a (NIV)

Lesson Overview

We saw our friend Sunny the Cloud high up in the sky and can you guess which Quest animal we saw floating around up in the sky? Not Black Bear, or Blue Beaver, or White Warthog, but Yellow Yak! Sunny and Yellow Yak saw the Two By Two cruise ship passing by, so we looked down on the cruise ship deck to see how Sydney and Shelby were enjoying their cruise vacation!

 
When we looked down we saw our friends Sydney and Shelby waiting with Aunt Jessie. The Two By Two had docked at a new city and the crew was preparing so everyone could get off the cruise ship and explore the city. But First Mate Shelley let everyone know the ramp was broken and no one could get off the ship to explore the city until it was fixed. Aunt Jessie told Sydney and Shelby to be patient to get off the ship, but Shelby wanted to try lots of different ways to get off the boat anyways! After Sydney suggested they use a kite to fly off the boat, Aunt Jessie decided it was time for Sydney and Shelby to see the daily Bible story in the cruise ship theater.

During the Bible story of the day, we heard about Noah being on a boat for 150 nights with his family and all kinds of animals. After God made it rain to flood the earth during this time, the water began to dry up! But Noah and his family still had to wait until all the water was completely dry to get off the boat. It was hard for them to wait for such a long time, but they knew being patient was the right thing to do. Alongside Sydney and Shelby, Quest children learned “I Will Be Patient!” from our Bible story.

Bible Story: God Took Care Of Noah | Genesis 7:11-8:1
Main Point: I Will Have Courage!
Memory Verse: “This is love for God: to keep his commands.” 1 John 5:3a (NIV)

Lesson Overview

Our sky high adventures continued this weekend as we joined Sunny the Cloud up in the clouds! We saw our friend Red Rabbit and were just in time, too, as the Two By Two cruise ship was passing right underneath Red Rabbit’s cloud!

 
When we looked down to see what was happening on the ship, we saw our friends Sydney and Shelby playing fun games on the deck with pool toys. They were having so much fun and there were toys everywhere! Aunt Jessie saw a storm coming towards the ship and asked Sydney and Shelby to pick up all the pool toys so they didn’t blow away in the storm. But Sydney and Shelby heard thunder from the storm and were too scared to pick up all the pool toys. They wanted to obey Aunt Jessie and do what was right, but they were too afraid! Due to the closeness of the storm, Aunt Jessie, Sydney, and Shelby decided it would be best to head into the cruise ship theater to watch the daily Bible story.

During the daily Bible story, we heard about Noah being on a boat for 40 days and 40 nights while God made it rain to flood the entire earth. During this time, Noah and his family became afraid. But they knew they were doing the right thing because they were doing what God wanted them to do. They had courage to obey God even though they were scared!

Sydney, Shelby, and all of us in Quest learned “I Will Have Courage!” to do what God wants us to do!

Bible Story: Noah Took Care Of The Animals | Genesis 6:17-21; 7:1-10
Main Point: I Will Take Care of God’s Creation!
Memory Verse: “This is love for God: to keep his commands.” 1 John 5:3a (NIV)

 
Lesson Overview

We traveled up, up, up high in the sky with our friend Sunny the Cloud and found our friend Teal Tiger! Teal Tiger wanted us to play a game finding shapes in the clouds, but we were having so much fun playing the game that we almost missed the Two by Two cruise ship passing by below

When we looked down to see what was happening on the ship, we saw our friends Sydney, Shelby, and Aunt Jessie getting ready to feed the bird flying in the sky above the ship. Aunt Jessie told Sydney and Shelby to feed birdseed to the bird, but Sydney tasted the birdseed and it tasted yucky! So instead of feeding birdseed to the bird, Sydney and Shelby decided to feed the bird some yummy cookies instead. Aunt Jessie returned to find the bird with a tummy ache and knew it was time for Sydney and Shelby to learn what God said about taking care of the animals.

While watching the Bible story, we learned Noah took care of the animals on the boat. He took care of lots of animals and it was a lot of work! But Noah knew God trusted him to take care of the animals by feeding them and making sure they were safe.

Shelby and Sydney learned they should take care of the bird and feed him birdseed (and not cookies!) and we learned “I Will Take Care of God’s Creation!”
