Reckless Faith (2008) and Relentless Hope (2011). Beth has a houseful of kids—some born in her body and some in her
heart. She and her husband Todd live in Monterey, Mexico, where they serve as executive directors of Back2Back
Ministries. They invite you and your family to come be a part of their story anytime.

What did Joseph do to help the people in Egypt?
Who came to Egypt to buy food?
A Read-to-Me Bible Storyfrom Genesis 39, 41, 42, 45, 47
Joseph had been taken to live in Egypt. One day the king of Egypt called for Joseph. The king had been having strange dreams. With God’s help, Joseph told the king that a time was coming when crops would not grow.
“You can be in charge of my palace,” said the king. So Joseph helped the people in Egypt gather and store grain.
One day Joseph’s brothers came to Egypt to buy food. Joseph told them who he was. Joseph said, “God sent me here to help others.” Joseph knew that God wants us to help others.

Coming This Quarter
Family Memory Challenge
A quarterly letter for connecting with families of children ages 3 to 6 at <Type your church or children’s ministry name here> Welcome to “Family Connections”—the quarterly newsletter that helps you know what your child is learning from God’s Word. Please let us know if we can help you
in any way as we partner together to grow kids in Jesus.
Moses and Joshua were chosen by God to be leaders of His people. They taught the people to be obedient to and worship God. You are a chosen leader too—a leader of your family. What are you teaching your children about God?
Units of learning include: • God Made People • Moses and God’s People • Joshua and God’s People
Bible verses your child will be learning this quarter include: • Psalm 139:14 • Psalm 105:1 • Joshua 24:24 Putting words to a simple tune can be fun and aid memorization. Find each unit’s verse in a family Bible. Then work together to sing the words to familiar melodies. Sing the Bible verse song while in the car or at mealtimes.
Young children love to explore, so why not create a place where the family can explore together?
Find a large plastic tub or designate a sandbox or empty inflatable pool to use as a family
discovery center. Fill the container with different mediums: water, sand, foam packing chips,
balls, bubble solution. Or use seasonal items, such as leaves, jingle bells, ice or snow, or
plastic Easter eggs. You can hide items to find in the container too. Take time to play and laugh together as you dig for treasures. Talk about some of the special senses God gave to people—touch, sight, sound. Thank God that He made a wonderful world in which to live and work and play.
For more family fun, go to heartshaper.com and download the free weekly family pages for your child’s age level.

God Made Adam and Eve: Genesis 1:26-31; 2:7, 8, 18-23

Articles by
Wendy Wagoner
Psalm 139:14
Find this verse in a
family Bible. As a
family, brainstorm hand
motions to symbolize
selected words of the
Bible verse. Say the verse as you do the motions.
This week, help your child remember:
God made people.
Use these thoughts at
mealtimes, bedtimes, or other
times when you pray with
your child this week.
Thank You, God, for making people!
God, thank You for making our ears
so we can listen.
Thank You, God, for giving us eyes
to see.
This week your
child learned about
God’s special
creation of people.
God wants us to
take good care of the bodies He made for us.
Choose healthy snacks during the day and
teach your children why they should try to eat
foods that are good for them.
Children also need to be taught to value their
bodies by getting enough sleep and exercising
regularly. When it is too cold to play outside,
play praise songs and exercise or dance
together. Sing “Head and Shoulders, Knees
and Toes,” while motioning to the named
body parts. Keep singing, speeding
up each time, until you can’t keep
up any longer.
Thank God daily in prayer for your
health and the health or healing of others.
Surprise Birthday Party. Surprise
the family with a birthday party after
dinner one evening. Make a cake, display
balloons, and show baby pictures of each
family member. Have fun recalling special
birthdays and memories. Share how you felt
when you first saw how God created your
child. Close the party by thanking God for
making each person in your family.

Lesson 1
by Rebecca
Haynes Mott
We Are Family . . .
How can you honor the other people living in
your household? How will you honor God in
your family this week?
Who lives at your house? The answer to that question is changing for many of
the approximately 75 million kids living in the United States. In fact, changes in
families and households over the last two decades have stunned demographers,
the people who study populations. After looking at the results of the 2010 census,
one demographer called the changes a “metamorphosis.”
Lots of kids still live with just their parents, but many others live in households
“among families,” which can include stepparents, aunts, uncles,
and/or cousins, as well as siblings and parents. Some kids live
“among unrelated,” which includes adults who are not married
to each other. Other kids live in “multigenerational households,
” which include parents, kids, grandparents, and maybe even
great-grandparents. Even though the census shows that the
number of single-person households is also growing, very
few kids live solo—which is a good statistic!
Set a timer and give class members a couple of minutes to
sketch out their stick-figure families (no names). Gather and
shuffle the sketches. Hold up each drawing for classmates to try
to identify whose family it is. Talk about the advantages or

Use devotionals to develop a habit of spendingtimewithGodandhisWordevery day. Some devotionals are meant toteachyou.Someareexamplesofhowyou can live out the Scripture in your life. Some are stories to inspire you to do better and greater things. Most of all remember that God is with you. Let him know every day you’re listening, open to his guidance and leadership, and that you worship him as your God and greatest friend.
