We’re Learning… God made me.
Bible Story: The First People ● Genesis 2

As a family, read “The First People” — Genesis 2 from a children’s Bible. (CLICK HERE for children’s Bible recommendations.) 

After reading the Bible story, complete the activity together:

Response Activity:

• Say, “Let’s do an activity to help us remember God made us and He loves us!”
• Read each prompt below and encourage your toddler to respond.
  • “God made hands to draw, write, and carry what we need. If God made you, wave your hands!” 
  • “God made eyes to see everything and everyone around us. If God made you, point to your eyes!”
  • “God made legs to walk, jump, and run. If God made you, jump up and down!”
  • “God made ears to hear sounds around us, the things people say, and music to sing and dance to! If God made you, point to your ears!”
• Say, “Great job! Remember, God made you and He loves you. Who made you?” Encourage your toddler to say, “God made me!”

📚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 “Good News! God Made Me!” 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 Tsidkenu (TSID-KE-NU), which means “The Lord Our Righteousness.” As you pray for your toddler this week, pray they’ll remember who God is and how much He loves them.

Dear God, thank You for loving us. As my child grows up, I pray they’ll know You, Jehovah Tsidkenu, as our God who is perfectly righteous. Please help us learn more about who You are, and help us grow closer to You every day. We love You, God. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
