MEMORIZE SCRIPTURE
Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. (James 4:11)

BABY QUEST: May Lessons
Baby QUEST is Reston Bible Church’s ministry to the youngest members of our Body.
Each month, we will feature a guide for your family to use with children ages 0-2. The guide includes follow up activities, a craft or sensory activity, recommended reading, a song, and other tips that are uniquely tailored to the development of infants and toddlers.
The guide follows the themes we are teaching in our nursery classes, giving you an opportunity to connect and reinforce the ideas taught at home. Because children this age need repetition, each activity can be done multiple times throughout the month to continue to press it upon your child’s memory as they grow!
This month, we’re focusing on the story of Jesus and Zacchaeus. Children will be introduced to the idea that Jesus heals our hearts by seeing that Jesus helped Zacchaeus even though he was not nice. Through the story, they will start to pick up on the nature of God even if they don’t understand it completely.
Big Idea:
Jesus Heals Our Heart
Scripture Focus:
Luke 19
