This week’s theme is COVENANT. Stars in the sky remind us that we are part of the covenant that God made with Abraham. We all belong to one big family that God will love forever.

Seeing God’s Promise
Think about things you see at home, at church, or in creation that are signs of
God’s love. Write or draw each one on a sticky note. Put them in
different rooms in your home as reminders
that God’s love for us will never end.
Abraham’s
Big Family
Take pictures of family, friends,
neighbors, and church members.
Cut out a large heart from poster
board and fill it with the
pictures. Display the heart in
your home as a reminder
that we are all part of
Abraham’s family.
Hoping for a BabyAbraham and Sarah were childless for
most of their life. God promised that
they would have a family. Some
people are hoping for a child but do not yet have one.
How could your family support these people?
Saying prayers for them is a great place to start.
Promise KeeperUse glow-in-the-dark markers or crayons
to write “God keeps promises” on index
cards. Put one in your bedroom to
read each night before you go to
sleep. Make extra cards and mail them as postcards to family or friends who live
farther away.
Stargazing
Go outside to gaze at stars on a clear
night, or do it from your home using a
virtual online planetarium.
Count as many stars as
you can. Take turns naming
different shapes you can
make by connecting them.
Twinkle Remix
Sing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” together. Using the same melody,
create a new version to tell today’s story. Share your song with friends to tell them about God’s covenant with Abraham.
Bouquet of StarsTrace star shapes on yellow paper, cut them out, and decorate them with
glitter. Attach a chopstick to the back of each one for a stem.
Place in a vase to use as a centerpiece for your table.
