First Sunday of January and the beginning of Samuel

For the Introduction to Samuel document click HERE or copy and paste emmanuelbaptist.com/images/File/children/Samuel_intro.pdf

The title of this Sunday's lesson is God gives Israel a prophet and judge
Remember God is the Hero of every story we share with the kids.

The principle is God graciously intervenes in the lives of men

The passage is 1 Samuel 1—7
Suggestion:  when the lesson says to read a portion of a long section like this I would offer two suggestions:
1.  Find a children's story Bible and see what sections they use.
2.  Decide what passage you believe is going to best communicate the title and principle of the lesson.

Remember we want to encourage parents to talk with their children about the lesson.
Two questions you will answer directly or point to are:

• How did God bless Israel with a prophet and judge?
• How did God bless Hannah with a son?

Memory Verses:

2 year olds through kindergarten:
“Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory”
(Psalm 24:10).

1st through 5th grade:
He will guard the feet of His saints, But the wicked shall be silent in darkness”
(1 Samuel 2:9).
