Here's what your Junior Detectives learned this week in Don Dangerfield's KidStuff Detective Academy. Don knows that God has all the answers. And even though he knows that we will never know as much as God does, He has given us ways that we can learn the answers to a lot of things from Him. All summer long, your children will be learning ways to seek God for the answers to life's questions.
Casey Clue joined us again in our Preschool Department, asking your children to use the skills they have learned in the first five weeks of the Detective Academy to solve a mystery. Casey and our preschoolers worked together this week to solve the mystery: Who is my neighbor? We looked at the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) to help us solve this great mystery.
Check out the Big Talk card for our memory verse and an activity to do with your children to build off of this lesson.
In Grade School, we taught the same basic lesson as Preschool, but more in depth. Our Grade School Junior Detectives also worked together to solve the mystery: Who is my neighbor? They were asked to come up with their own Bottom Line and present it in the large group time, and they came up with some pretty great answers! They also looked at the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) to get them starting to think about who their neighbors are.
Check out our KidStuff Detective Academy Case Files. These files will send your kids searching through their Bibles during the week to look for answers to the questions they will face on the following Sunday. This week's Case File will send your children on a quest to discover what love is.
