King’s Kids Recap: October 8

Take a moment to learn about the teaching from King’s Kids so you can talk about with your child during the week.

This week K-5th grade learned about a group of wise men who’ve studied the stars notice an unusual star and follow it, looking for the newborn king that had caused the star to rise. When the wise men find Jesus, they worship him because Jesus is the king. Hearing of this, King Herod wants to kill Jesus, but God leads both the wise men and Jesus’ family to keep Jesus safe. This week's story came from Matthew 2:1-18 if you wish to read the story again with your children.

Preschool learned about the ten plagues of Egypt and how Moses led God's people out of Egypt. We learned that just like the Israelites needed someone to rescue them from Pharaoh, we need Jesus to rescue us from our sin. Moses helped save God’s people temporarily—but Jesus saves us forever. Our story this week was a shortened version of Exodus chapters 5-14. CLICK HERE to play the new song they learned and sing it throughout the week.
