Dear Family,

Just a note to let you know that church school continues to be an exciting place for your child and his or her friends to learn about God’s great big story, focusing on how powerful and loving our great God is. Right now we’re learning about God’s great plan to guide Moses to bring God’s people out of Egypt to the promised land. And—there’s more great news!—we’re learning that God also has plans to care for and protect us!

You’ll notice that each Show and Share paper contains a section called Dear Family. It explains the content and focus of each week’s session. Often there will be suggestions for activities that you can do with your child at home to share your own wonder, faith, and awe at how God works in your life and the life of your family.

You’ll also always find the week’s story so you can read it together and the location of the Memory Challenge. Learning a verse from Scripture with your child is a great way to show that learning God’s Word is important, meaningful, and rewarding! You might even write the verse on a card or two and place the cards where family members will see them often—on a mirror by the toothbrushes, by the back door, or in the car! For the next six weeks our Memory Challenge will be Deuteronomy 10:12-13. We’ll be learning the verse by singing it! If you’d like to listen to or download the song, it’s called “Deuteronomy 10:12-13” and it can be found at www.dwellcurriuclum.org.

Please continue to join me in prayer, asking that God will use the Wonder materials and me to join you in leading your child into a life of vibrant faith in our amazing God!

In Christ,

Connecto!Hey kids! Find a partner and connect the dots. The person with the most recent birthday goes first

and draws a line from one dot to another—connecting only two dots. Then the next person does the same. Players take turns. When a square is completed, the person who completed it must follow the instructions at the bottom and initial the square. The person with the most squares wins. Enjoy!

Square Instructions1. Describe how your yard would look after grasshoppers ate every green thing.2. If you had no sprays, how would you keep hundreds of flies from biting you?3. If you lived in Egypt and wrote a letter to Pharaoh, what would you say?4. What was there about the last plague that finally made Pharaoh change his heart?5. Name three of the plagues that could make a kid afraid.6. What plague do you think shows God’s great power the most?7. Name two things you would do to cover the smell of dead frogs and fish.8. Leaving Egypt, you can take only what you can carry. What few things that you own

today would you take? 9. Suggest one way Pharaoh could get the work done after all the slaves had left.

10. With no flea collars to buy, what could you do to help your dog when the gnats covered all the people and animals?

11. If your friend called and asked what was going on in Egypt, what would you say?12. What does this story teach you about God?13. With boils all over your body, how will you sleep?14. When you found out that God’s people weren’t affected by all of the plagues, what

did you wonder about?15. What does this part of God’s great story make you wonder about?16. What parts of this story show God’s protection of his people?
