VBS-DAY 2

*WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW FOR DAY 2.

*ACTIVITY:

-fold a piece of paper in half.

-on the left side, make a list of people that you can talk to about what you believe. (family, friend, small group leader from church)

-on the right side, draw one or two speech bubbles.

-write in the speech bubbles something you could say to others about what you believe.

(ex. a friend asks you who jesus is. how would you reply? what is something cool you learned at church that you could share with a parent or sibling?)

-parents, remind your child, "you can talk with others about what you believe," but what you believe depends on what you know about jesus. talking to others and asking questions is one way to take a closer look and discover who jesus is. (parents, share a story about someone in your life you talk to about what you believe.)

*PRAY THE FOLLOWING PRAYER.

God, thank you so much for this story about jesus. 

jesus encouraged peter to talk about what he believed, 

and you want us to talk about you, too.

we know when we talk with others, we can get a

closer look and discover who you are and all that

jesus did for us. we know, like peter, we are not perfect.

there are times we don't do what you want and we

don't listen to you. we are so thankful you sent us

jesus to be our rescuer. and when we believe in jesus,

we can be with you now and forever!

Thank you for loving us so much

you want to be with us! 

amen!
