King Solomon: Chosen to Build the Temple, Week 5
Our theme for the year is Built to Obey. We'll be looking at lots of different people in the Bible who were given seemingly impossible tasks, but they chose obedience and God did amazing things through them! We'll be learning this year that obedience is hard, obedience is specific, obedience is a choice, obedience is a witness, and obedience brings blessings.
This unit we will be studying King Solomon, who was chosen to build the temple. This was no easy task, but King Solomon chose obedience and all of Israel was blessed to be able to have a permanent place to worship God. Here are some ways to continue the conversation at home:

Solomon: Chosen to Build the Temple, Week 3

We'll be learning this year that obedience is hard, obedience is specific, obedience is a choice, obedience is a witness, and obedience brings blessings.
This unit we will be studying King Solomon, who was chosen to build the temple. This was no easy task, but King Solomon chose obedience and all of Israel was blessed to be able to have a permanent place to worship God. Here are some ways to continue the conversation at home:
1) How is the memory verse coming along? You only have two more chances to say the verse to your encourager. Here it is in case you forgot: "If you obey all my laws and commands I will do for you what I promised your father David." 1 Kings 6:12 Our family was able to learn this verse by singing it to the tune of "This is the Day".
2) King Solomon wrote the book of Proverbs. Take some time each day (during breakfast, after dinner, when putting the kids to bed...whatever works for you) and read one chapter of Proverbs as a family. i.e. if it's the 2nd day of the month, read chapter 2. (Warning: some chapters will be harder to explain to younger children than others, but spend some time in prayer before reading and ask God to give you wisdom to know how to explain His word to your children.)
Here are some resources to enhance or start your family devotion and worship times:
Prayer Works
Edible Object Talks
Hillsong Kids Music Videos
BONUS:
Here are some fun ideas you can do all month long as you prepare to celebrate Christmas:
Grab your Advent 4 Orphans calendar from the church office.
Christmas Socking Ring and Run
Celebrate St. Nicholas Day
Light 'Em Up Acts of Kindness
