Memory Verse
In our story today, there is a man called George Mueller who loved God and trusted that God would always take care of him and the children he cared for. And he was right! God used people (the baker and the milkman) to provide the "bare necessities" for George Mueller and the kids. The Bible tells us to pray all the time, too:
1 Thessalonians 5:17 — "Pray all the time"
Memory Tip: "This Little Light of Mine" melody.
For the older kids, you could include the verse reference as the last line in the song (it is a difficult one, though) instead of the "let it shine, let it shine, let it shine". Otherwise sing "Pray, pray, pray -- pray, pray, pray -- all the time!"):
Pray -- all the time! -- Pray -- all the time! -- Pray -- all the time! -- Pray -- all the time! --
Pray -- all the time! -- Pray -- all the time! -- First Thessalo -- niiiiians -- five seventeen.
or
Pray -- all the time! -- Pray -- all the time! -- Pray -- all the time! -- Pray -- all the time! --
Pray -- all the time! -- Pray -- all the time! -- Pray, pray, pray -- pray, pray, pray -- all the time!
Craft
Snack
Today's snack is bread rolls and milk!
Why? — Because it reminds us of the bread and the milk in our story of George Mueller. He didn't have the money to buy bread and milk, but he trusted and prayed that God would take care of them anyway — and God did!
