KIDS WORSHIP—Treasure Island!
February 2016
Kids, come explore with us as we search
Treasure Island to DISCOVER some
incredible Bible lessons! Each week we
will dig deep into the Bible where we
will find ways that we can give to our
great God! Paul said in
1 Timothy 4:12, “Don’t let anyone
look down on you because you are young,
but set an example…” There are lots
of ways kids can be a great example and
one is by learning to give unselfishly.
We’ll be finding out how we can give our
talents, time, treasures, and lives to
God every day! Our key verse for the
month is, “Give as freely as you have
received!” Matthew 10:8
Moms and Dads, here’s where we’ll
journey on Treasure Island if you want
to talk about it with your kids at home!
• The Israelites Build the
Tabernacle—Exodus 35:10-36:7. We use our
talents for God.
• Nehemiah Gives His Time to Rebuild the
Wall—Nehemiah 2:1-6:16. We use our time
for God.
• Jesus Tells About the Widow’s
Offering—Mark 12:41-44. We give our
treasures to God.
• The Rich Young Ruler—Matthew 19:16-26.
We give our lives to God.
