10:30AM CHILDREN’S WORSHIP
This summer classes for kids 4 years to Grade 2 are completing a unit on the First Catechism, a question and answer tool for teaching Bible truths in simple, straightforward language. Chidlren will grow in their understanding of God’s great love for and grace toward them through tracing the gospel message throughout the Bible.
Catechism Questions:
Q16: Who were our first parents? Adam and Eve.
Q17: How did God create man? God created man, male and female, after his own image.
Q18: Of what were our first parents made? God made Adam's body out of the ground and Eve's body out of a rib from Adam.
Bible Story/Passage: Genesis 1:26–28, 2:7,18, 21-23
Teaching points:
God created human beings “in his image.” This means we are not God, but we are like God in some ways.
God also made Adam and Eve so that they could have children. He wanted the earth to be filled with people to love Him and praise Him.
At-Home Discussion Starters:
We are some ways we are like God because He made us in His image? E.g. minds to think/ reason, an understanding of right and wrong, ability to communicate and talk with God (pray), should take a day of rest (Sabbath), were created pure and without sin (though we know they didn’t stay that way)
Talk about some of the differences with Adam and Eve being distinctly created as male and female.
