CPKids: Sunday Follow Up (1/27/19)
The kids learned about King Hezekiah yesterday and the call to trust in the one true God who could rescue his people from the Assyrians (2 Kings 18-19). Ultimately King Hezekiah points us to Jesus who is the one who rescues his people from sin and death.
I loved the take home activity and would encourage you to take some time to do it this week with your kids:
Letters of Encouragement
The king of Assyria sent a letter to Hezekiah trying to discourage him and make him feel foolish for trusting God. The Assyrian king wanted Hezekiah to lose hope and give up. Hezekiah chose to pray to God and ask for help instead. Our leaders need help from God too, and one way God can provide help is through people! Let’s write letters of encouragement to lift up leaders in our lives, and remind them to always love and obey God.
Ask your kids to write a letter of encouragement to a leader in their lives. This could be a teacher, a parent, a coach, or a pastor. Direct them to deliver their letter in the coming week.
We are praying for your family and children this week!
