November 21, 2022 | 3 years - Kindergarten

Main point: I can thank God for family and friends.
Bible story: Aaron Helps Moses ● Exodus 17:8-13

As a family, watch this week’s video and then discuss a few questions together. 

  • Who was today’s Bible story about? (Moses, Aaron, Hur)
  • What happened in the Bible story? (Some people who did NOT follow God came to attack the Israelites. Moses held up God’s staff, and the Israelites started winning! But then, Moses’ arms got tired. When Moses put his arms down, they started losing. Moses’ brother, Aaron, and his friend, Hur, helped Moses hold his arms up. Then the Israelites won!)
  • How did Aaron and Hur help Moses? (They brought over a rock for Moses to sit on and held Moses’ arms up so the Israelites could win.)
  • Do you have family and friends who help you, too? (yes)
  • God has given us so many good things we can thank Him for. Can you thank God for your family and friends? (yes)
