Firm Foundations 5:4

Theme: The God who knows the stars' names knows your name too!
"...the very hairs on your head are all numbered." (Matt. 10:30)

Scripture Memory: Review Psalm 139:1-4.  You can check out some of the actions I've used for this passage: verse 3

Catechism Review: Q.  Can you see God? A. No; I cannot see God, but he always sees me.
Q. Does God know all things? A. Yes; nothing can be hid from God.

Every Hair: First read Psalm 113:5-6 and Isa. 57:15. Talk about how God is so far above us! Review some of the things you've learned this week about God's greatness and power. Compare His care and watchfulness over us to our being concerned about an ant. We're so much bigger and more powerful than the ants just as God is so much  more bigger and powerful than us!

Next, read Matt. 10:29-31. Even though God is so great and powerful and amazing, yet He cares and watches over us, even knowing the number of hairs on our head. Try to count those hairs together! There's a lot of 'em, for sure. For this week's notebooking, create a face on their square. Talk about eye color, nose shape, freckles, eyebrow thickness - anything and everything that makes your child's face distinct. Finally, add the hair. Give your kids pieces of yarn to tape on the head of their self-portrait. After the yarn is on, count each "hair" together. Remind them that God has counted each of their hairs too!
