6.       Bible Story:  Philip and the Ethiopian (Acts 8:26-40)

Memory Work:  Now we are children of God.  1 John 3:2

Preparation:  Today as you tell the Bible story, you will be asking some questions so that your child can help in the retelling.

 Tell:  Philip was a man who told about Jesus wherever he went, even when he was walking through the desert. On that day, Philip saw a very important man riding in a fine chariot.

Ask:  I wonder…who was that man? (Pause)

Tell:  The man was traveling to his home in Africa.  He worked there for the queen of Ethiopia.  As he was riding on the long way home, he was reading from the Bible.
     Philip walked alongside the chariot.  He asked the man from Africa if he understood what he was reading.  The man said, “Please ride in my chariot.  Tell me what the Bible verse means.”

Ask:  I wonder…did Philip get in that chariot? (Pause)

Tell:  Philip told the queen’s helper that the words were about Jesus.  Philip told him that Jesus died on the cross to take away our sins.  Philip told him that Jesus came alive again on Easter and that Jesus promises us eternal life in heaven.  The man from Africa believed in Jesus as his Savior.

Ask:  I wonder…what happened next? (Pause)

Tell:  The Ethiopian stopped the chariot when he saw some fresh water near the road.  He asked if he could be baptized.
     Philip baptized the man in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.  The man from Africa was so happy to know Jesus and be a part of God’s family.  When he got home to Africa, he would tell his family, friends, and others about the love of Jesus our Savior.

Tell:  Water is very important, especially when it’s put together with God’s Word.  Let’s thank God for water!

     Prayer:  Dear God, Thank You for water in raindrops; Thank You for water to use.  Thank You for water to baptize me and for saying, “I love you!”   Amen.

*Remember, you can do a little or a lot.  These are suggestions to help your child stay on track for Kindergarten in this challenging time.  Mrs. Sistrunk and I appreciate any of your efforts.
