Family Faith Formation – June 27 & 28

Holy Moly! Calming the Storm

Join us each week as a family to have fun together with some of God’s great stories. We’re starting the summer off with a SPLASH with all “water” stories in June!

Start by picking a welcome video from Miss Leah or Miss Renee


Worship Together

Make the sign of the cross (Touch forehead, then heart. Touch one shoulder, then the other.) As you make the cross say, “Love God, Love Neighbor”

Offering

How will you make an offering today?

Sing

School Age: This Little Light of Mine: If you are able, light a candle to remind yourselves that Jesus is the light of the world. Jesus is with you, and Jesus is in you. Let your light shine!

  • Thank You, God: Name three things you are thankful for today.

Littles: He’s Got the Whole World In His Hands
Verse 1: He’s got the whole world in His hands
Verse 2: He’s got really big rainbows in His hands
Verse 3: He’s got all God’s Children in His hands
Verse 4: He’s got all kinds of families in His hands
NEW Verse 5: He gives us peace with His hands

Pray the Lord’s Prayer 


Holy Moly! Family Movie Time

Jesus and his disciples were traveling across the Sea of Galilee (actually a big lake) when suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake. 


Sharing and Discussion

Have you ever been caught in a storm before? Why are storms scary?

Why do you think Jesus was sleeping? Can you sleep during a storm? How?

When Miss Leah & Miss Renee were children, they knew their families would take care of them during a bad storm. Jesus knew God would keep him safe. Just like Jesus calmed the rain and the wind, Jesus can calm the “storms” in our lives. He can help us when we are worried and walk with us during difficult times. This doesn’t mean Jesus makes all our troubles disappear, but he can give us peace in our hearts. That’s how God brings peace on Earth, one heart at a time 🙂 


Read the Bible Together

School Age KidsMatthew 8:23-27

Littles: Spark Story Bible page 254 or (Not in Frolic Bible this week, sorry!)

Digging deeper: Does your family have a plan for safety during a severe storm, such as a tornado? Develop a plan for what to do before, during and after a tornado. Talk about it and practice it. Here is a comprehensive resource: https://www.weather.gov/safety/tornado


Family Activities

 Design a boat! Using the materials provided in your Faith Formation kit (pool noodle, straw, foam sail and stickers) or other materials in you home (cardboard, paper, etc.), design a boat that will float. Put your boat in a tub or big bucket of water. Create a splashing storm to see what your boat can withstand!

Bless Each Other
