Preschool Family Worship

NEED TO KNOW: 

“When I’m scared, I will trust Jesus!"   

  • The focus of this family time is to use five easy steps to teach our children that they do not have to be afraid. Instead, they can bust their fears with the things we will teach them each week. 
  • Learn the NEED TO KNOW together and say it throughout the week to help your family remember and apply what they have learned. 

MEMORY VERSE: 

“I prayed  (pretend to pray) 

to the Lord, (point up)
 

and He answered me. (Cup hand to ear)

He freed me (wave arms and smile) 

  from all my fears." (make a scary face)


Psalm 34:4 (make a pretend book with hands) 

  • Practice the memory verse together as a family


STEP 1. GATHER!

Intentionally pick a place and time to gather your family together and use this activity to begin Family Worship Night. 

  • Monster March: HAVE kids stand up and march around the group like they are monsters (stomp loudly, walk like robot, etc.). 


STEP 2. WORSHIP!

  • Sing and have fun while worshiping then pray. Take a moment here to thank God for your family and your time together!! 

STEP 3. BIBLE!

Jesus Teaches on Prayer (Luke 11:1-3)


STEP 4. DISCUSSION! 

Use these questions and points to have a conversation with your children about the Bible story. 

  • What is something that has made you feel scared? 
  • What do you do when you feel scared? 
  • Who can help bust your fear away? (God) 

HAVE FUN TOGETHER

HAVE kids stand up and say, 1, 2, 3.... Then, you SAY any of the following actions: freeze, dance, hop, spin, twist, jump, clap, run, etc

STEP 5. Pray!

  • Dear Jesus, please help me to trust you when I am scared. Please help me to not be scared.. I love you! In your name I pray, amen.
