BABY QUEST: November 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 Baby Moses. Children will learn about God’s love and care for Moses, and connect it to His love and care for themselves and each other. Children will discuss and identify different ways that God cares for us.
Big Idea:
God Cares for Us
Scripture Focus:
Exodus 1-2
