QUARTER #6: DISCOVERING GOD ON ROUTE 66

Lesson	Title	Description
#66	Jesus Is Above All	From a study of Ephesians 1:19-23 and Philippians 2:9-11, children discover that Jesus has many names and He is above all rulers in the past, present, or future! One day everyone will worship Him as King of Kings. After researching over 20 names, children make a terrific craft to use at home.
#67	Saved By Grace	Children learn that salvation is a gift from God that cannot be earned. Yet, God planned in advance for each of us to do good things even as children. There are 2 fun games to help the children remember Ephesians 2:8-10.
#68	God Loves You	Paul sets the example for all to understand that through prayer, study, song, and coming together - we can know that God loves us! After a fun drama and a powerful prayer time together, there are 2 optional crafts for the children to make. Ephesians 3:12, 14-21; 5:19, 20.
#69	Confess Anger Today	From studying Ephesians 4:26-32, children are taught about sharing, encouraging, and forgiving others. Yet, the main lesson is learned is to not let the sun go down on our anger! A great game is played where each team must confess their anger before the sun goes down!
#70	Armor Of God Part I	In Ephesians 6:10-18 children discover that it is critical to put on the full armor of God so that they will be able to stand against Satan’s schemes! This lesson helps children memorize Eph. 6:11 and play an exciting game. To allow children time to grasp these important but abstract concepts, both lesson parts should be taught.
#71	Armor Of God Part II	This final study from the book of Ephesians continues the lesson about wearing spiritual armor. Children will make a remarkable craft. This craft will be a great reminder to pray for God’s strength in wearing our armor!
#72	I Can Do All Things	Children are encouraged that they can do all things through Christ –including witnessing. Though Paul suffered tremendously for witnessing, he saw his imprisonment as a good thing and we can too. Philippians 1:12-14; 4:11-13
#73	Be Like Jesus	After studying Philippians 2:1-9 and watching a puppet show to relate the lesson, children will understand that we need to have an attitude like Jesus and put others first. Songs and games reinforce this important lesson.
#74	Humbly Grateful	Through Bible study, games, and performing skits, children will discover that to obey means doing God’s work without complaining, arguing, or grumbling. Philippians 2:12-14
#75	Rejoice in The Lord Always!	Philippians 4:4-8: Children realize that God wants us to rejoice at all times – even when bad things happen! We can do this through prayer and then God will give us peace. Games, prayer, and object lessons review this main point.
#76	Our Creator	Children learn that God created us to please Him. A fun story is shared to help them understand the concept of serving the one who made us. After reviewing scripture, they create something themselves. Colossians 1:16
#77	Seek Things Above	Children will understand that life on earth is short and so we need to focus our minds on our eternity with God. After studying Colossians 3:1-4; 7-10 and learning to distinguish between earthly things and things above, children play a thought-provoking game.
#78	Work Heartily	In this final lesson from Colossians, children will discover that we are to do everything with our best effort as if we are doing it for God. Children play a fun game and make a meaningful craft. Colossians 3:23-25

Lesson	Title	Description
#79	Paul’s Second Missionary Journey	To prepare for this quarter’s lessons from Thessalonians and Timothy, the children will participate in helping tell the story of Paul’s trip as told in Acts 17 and 18. Teaching others about Jesus and Christianity are emphasized in the story. Then, the events and places are reinforced through a fun game.
#80	Be A Model	From I Thessalonians 1:1-9, children learn that just as Paul was a model as a Christian, the Thessalonians also became models to others! In the same way, people are watching us and we need to be good examples.

#84	Hold on to the Good	Balloons are the best teachers in this final study from the book of I Thessalonians! Children learn what it means to “Test everything!” Then, “Hold on to the good and avoid every kind of evil.”
#85	Stand Firm	From II Thessalonians 2:15-17, children find out the importance of standing firm in what we have been taught about God and in keeping our commitments to God. A fabulous game is played during class and later used at home to reinforce these concepts! (Ideally taught w/ #84 & #86.)
#86	God Protects	After watching a very short video clip and hearing a true short story, children will study II Thessalonians 3:1-3. They will find reassurance in knowing that God is faithful. He will strengthen and protect them from the evil one.

They have the chance to discuss the best response to real life situations and practice doing. Plus, children will learn a special skill to impress their parents later at home! II Thessalonians 3:11-13
#88	Pleasing God	I Timothy 1:15,16; 2:1-4: Children are reminded that “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (NIV) They will find out that it pleases God when we pray for others – especially for their salvation because God’s desire is for everyone to be a Christian.
