Sunday
school Lesson 1 - I Can Join God's Army! The first lesson in the series
teaches how we can "Join" God's army. The children learn that
God is our great commander; and that he is a kind commander. Because of
his gentleness, kindness and forgiveness, we don't have to be afraid to
do the things he asks us. We can just follow. It is demonstrated, with
a children's activity, that if a soldier tries to go it alone, he ends
up carrying a heavy load of guilt, fear and worry. They also learn that
when they are afraid, Jesus is our advocate who helps us when we are weak.
During Circle Talk Time, it is explained, in simple terms, what it means
to let God be your leader and join God's army; and that God has great
things planned for each of us. There is a model prayer for all the children,
and another prayer for those who want to accept Jesus into their heart.
For activities, children have a chance to sign up to join God's army.
Other activities include a pretend play activity, rhyme with actions,
and a second activity to drive the lesson concepts home. The Key Concepts
are: We show love to God by letting him be our leader and giving him our
heart. God is a kind commander. We can trust our commander completely!
The Bible verses used for this lesson include : Jer. 29:11 and Psalms
18:29-34.

Sunday
school Lesson 2 - Training Camp!
- Children to training camp in God's army! Children learn that soldier
do many exercises to get stronger; and learn different exercises to make
their faith stronger. Children learn the importance of reading their bible
(or having someone read to them), worshipping, spending time with God
in prayer, and going to different church activities to help their faith
grow. The activities drive these concepts home by giving each child a
Workout Journal to help them design their own workout to make their faith
grow strong! Other activities include a pretend play activity, a rhyme
with actions, and an activity with army men toys. There are pictures of
soldiers on each page to color. During Circle Talk Time children are encouraged
with simple verses of God's love, protection and help he offers us. Crafts
include Army Bear puppet, and a craft that has a moveable shield that
protects the children like God protects us. Concepts Children Learn: A
soldier in God's Army trains hard by staying close to God, reading his
Bible, praying, and obeying him. I don't have to be strong; my commander
makes me strong, protects me and helps me! The verses used in the lesson
are: Job
23:12; 1 Timothy 4:7-8; James 4:8a; Psalms 18:29b, 30, 32, 34.
There is a simplified separate lesson for ages two and three.

Sunday
school Lesson 3 - Keep Your Focus! - This practical, fun lesson teaches
children these important concepts: When we keep clean on the inside, God
can use us for special purposes. To keep clean, we can be careful how
we live. We are to set a good example for others to copy. The verses used
in lesson are: Proverbs 20:11; 2 Tim. 2:20-22; Hebrews 12:2; 2 Tim. 2:4.
This lesson gives practical examples of how we can watch what we see,
hear and say to keep clean on the inside. For Circle Talk Time, we use
an object lesson to show children how to be a good example for others
to copy. Activities to go with this lesson include a game, a preschool
rhyme with actions and a group activity. For crafts, children make a paper
doll chain that says, "I can be a good example for others to copy."
The other craft is a doll that opens to show a clean heart and says, 'Its
o.k. to get dirty sometimes, but our Bibles tell us to be clean on the
inside." As with all of the lessons, there is a separate easy lesson
especially for toddlers.

Sunday
school Lesson 4 - Serve Cheerfully! The concepts taught in this lesson
include: God gives us special abilities so that we can be really good
at doing some jobs. God gives us everything you need to do our jobs well.
When we use our abilities to help others, and share with others, God will
give us rewards in heaven. This lesson encourages children by emphasizing
that God didn't leave anybody out...he gave us each special abilities.
And it gives them ways they can begin using their abilities even at their
young age. It also helps children begin to focus on what's to come - rewards
in heaven! The Circle Talk Time uses an object lesson to show children
what that means. There is a warm-up activity, two pretend play activities
and a rhyme with actions to go with this lesson. There is a sticker craft
using the Bible reference of Ephesians 6:8 that tells us that the Lord
will reward us for the good things we do. Also, children make a booklet
with stickers about their abilities God gave them. The other verse used
in this lesson is Romans 12:6-8.

Sunday
school Lesson 5 - The concepts taught in this lesson include: God
wants us to do everything with love. There are things we can "put on"
to show love to others. Love is what joins our hearts together. The verses
used in this lesson are: 1 John 4:21 and 1 John 4:19. This fun lesson
shows children first hand the "clothes" we have to "put
on", based on Colossians 3:12-15 (love, mercy, kindness, humility,
patience, gentleness, and forgiveness). It explains each one in kid-friendly
language. Circle Talk Time explains how our hearts can be "joined
together in love". There is a warm-up activity, pretend play activity,
song with actions and a group bulletin board activity. The crafts for
this lesson include a bear-shaped booklet and paper dolls with the "clothes"
they learned to put on in the lesson.

Sunday
school Lesson 6 - New Recruits! Children learn these concepts in this
lesson: God shares his Top Secrets with us. The special mission he gives
us is to to tell others about him. He will help us as we do our special
mission. The most important thing is to love others. Children learn about
God's Top Secrets and about what our special mission is as soldiers in
God's army (to go and tell others). Circle Talk Time discusses some practical
ways children can tell others about Jesus. Scriptures used in this lesson
are: Mark 16:15; 1 Cor. 4:1; Matthew 28:20; John 13:34-35.
