Children's Ministry Lesson for May 3

For this Sunday, we will have classes for:

• Gospel Tots - ages 1 - 2 Years Old
• Gospel Tykes - ages 2 - 5 Years Old
• Gospel Kids - K - 2nd Grade
• Gospel Students - 3rd - 5th Grade

We use the Gospel Project for Kids curriculum for the Children's Ministry at GLC.  The Gospel Project for Kids is a Christ-centered ongoing weekly Bible study resource that looks at the big picture of God's story, the story of redemption through Jesus Christ. Each week, kids of all ages will follow a chronological timeline of Bible events while learning how each story points to the gospel of Jesus Christ.  

And now for this week's lesson... 

This upcoming Sunday your child will learn about: Jesus at the Temple
Story Point from Luke 2: Jesus came to earth to do His Father's will.
Family Bible Reading: For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
Big Picture Question: Who is Jesus?
Big Picture Answer: Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, who came to earth to save us.

Gospel Tots (ages 1 & 2 years old)

• Jesus obeyed His parents and followed God’s plan to save people from sin.

Gospel Tykes (ages 2 - 5 years old)  

• As Jesus grew up, He was strong and wise. Jesus was getting ready to follow His Father’s plan: to die on the cross and save people from sin.

Gospel Kids (K - 2nd grade)

• Simeon and Anna worshiped Jesus as the Messiah who God promised to save people from their sins. By trusting in Jesus, we can be saved from our sins and, like Simeon and Anna, praise God for His salvation.

Gospel Students (3rd - 5th grade)

• Jesus obeyed God, His heavenly Father, His entire life and followed His plan. It was God the Father’s plan that Jesus would die on a cross for our sins and rise again so that those who believe in Him could have eternal life.
