Dear Family Text
Just a note to keep you up to date on what’s happening in your child’s Wonder group this year. We’ve completed the stories about Jesus’ birth and early years and are about to begin a series of stories about Jesus’ amazing power that will include Jesus calming the storm, healing a young girl, turning water into wine, feeding four thousand people, and healing a man who can’t see.
Every story your child learns has a story symbol that goes along with it—you’ll see them on the Show and Share papers your child brings home. Encourage your child to tell you about the part of God’s story he or she is learning each week as you read through the Show and Share paper and use the great ideas on the back of the God’s Big Story Cards to jump-start your conversations.
Our new Memory Challenge is Psalm 23:1-3. (Be sure your child hangs on to the new Memory Challenge poster—the next unit’s poster will go with it to form one large poster of the entire psalm.) To help us write the words of this psalm on your child’s heart, we’ll be singing them together! If you’d like to learn the song “Green Pastures” and sing it at home, you may purchase a copy of the DwellSongs 1 CD or download the song on the Leader Support page of DwellCurriculum.org.
Please pray with me that the Holy Spirit will use Dwell, along with our own leading (yours and mine) and our own examples of faith to guide your child, and each child in our group, into a life of faith.
