Egypt: Joseph’s Journey from Prison to Palace

VBS will be here before we know it, and it’s time to start praying and planning! Will you please join me in prayer that God will raise up team leaders as we start putting together teams?
 
I will be contacting people over the next few weeks regarding being team leaders for the following areas:
 
Publicity
Decoration
Registration
Security
Recreation
Kitchen
Family Groups
Market Place

Please pray for direction as to where God would have you serve during this amazing time of outreach and discipleship!

This month in CiA/MF…
 
In March, children will learn about the cities of Edmonton and Calgary in the province of Alberta, Canada. Children will learn that Christians are to work together with God to build upon His foundation. They will meet missionaries Brett and Kristin Myers and Oscar and Tammy Mtomboki as they share Christ in Canada. Children will also learn about the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering® as they reach out to their church to encourage giving to North American missions.
 
Serving in: Canada
Missionary: Brett and Kristin Myers, Oscar and Tammy Mtomboki
Biblical Focus: Working together with God!
Memory Verse: “We work together with God. You are like God’s field. You are like his building”

SUNDAY SCHOOL
  
Unit Title: God is Holy
Key Passage: Leviticus 11:45
Session Title: God Reminded His People of His Covenant
Bible Passage: Deuteronomy 5:1-6, 8:1-11:1, 26-28
Main Point: God reminded His people of His covenant with them.
Big Picture Question: Who can keep God’s law? No one can keep God’s law perfectly except Jesus
 
This week, our journey through the Bible using The Gospel Project ® for Kids focused on
Moses’ farewell reminder to the people of Israel about God’s covenant and His
faithfulness to them. Moses called on the people to be holy and obey only God. If they
did this, they would be blessed. If they did not, they would not be blessed.
Help your kids understand that proper obedience is born out of gratitude to God for what
He has done, not as a way to earn God’s favor.
