Supplies Needed: Bible

  • Say, “God gave us His Word, the Bible. When we learn God’s Word, we are hiding it in our hearts and it will help us every day. I’m going to hide the Bible somewhere in this room, and I want you to find it.”
  • Grab a Bible and place it somewhere in the room where your toddler can easily see it when they look for it.
  • Help your toddler look for the Bible, and encourage them to point to it when they see it.
  • After they’ve found it, hide it again and continue playing for as long as they’re interested.
  • After the activity, say, “Great job! Who gave us the Bible?” Encourage your toddler to say, “God gave us the Bible!” Then lead your toddler in prayer:

“Dear God, thank You for giving us the Bible Please help us remember to read Your Word so we always know how much You love us. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

📚ADD TO YOUR LIBRARY 📚

In addition to reading stories from the Bible each Sunday, we also read a book together that reinforces what we’re learning. This month, we’re reading “What is the Bible?” by Valerie Carpenter. If you’re looking for a faith-based book to add to your child’s library at home, you can learn more about this month’s book HERE! 

NAMES OF GOD 

This year, our NextGen ministry is learning about the names of God. This month, we’re focusing on the name Jehovah Jireh. Jehovah Jireh means “The Lord Will Provide.” As you pray for your toddler this week, pray they’ll remember God loves them and is their provider.

Dear God, thank You for loving us. As my child grows up, I pray they’ll get to know you, Jehovah Jireh, and begin a personal relationship with you. Please help them become aware of how You love them and provide for them. We love You, God. In Jesus’ name, amen.
