Please note that this lesson has been revised to make the content more age-appropriate, and will be covered over two weeks.
December 21, 2025
- Our love and care for the children is more important than covering lessons. The children should enjoy coming to children’s meeting! In each district, please feel free to adjust what you cover, slow down, or even skip a lesson if that is what works best for your children.
- Monday, January 12 at 7:30-9:00 PM – our next all-district lesson fellowship for the older level lessons. We need the portion of the saints from every district!
- Lord’s Day evening, January 18 at 7:30-9:00PM – fellowship about children’s service for the upcoming Jan 25 citywide meeting.
- Changes to lessons. The suggested schedule for the lessons has changed. Some lessons have also been recently updated/edited based on our fellowship. The new lesson schedule and edited versions are accessible online on the church website and are also listed here:

Elisha—Twenty Loaves of Bread and the Ax Head
We will cover the first story in this lesson about the twenty loaves of bread feeding 100 people.
March 1, 2026
Elisha—Twenty Loaves of Bread and the Ax Head
We will cover the second story in this lesson about Elisha causing the ax head to float.
IMPORTANT NOTE: After our all-district fellowship, we considered more about the lesson Joash—Hidden In the Temple and decided to SKIP this lesson because the content is not so suitable for children (a lot of violence including the killing of Athaliah’s own grandchildren). While it contained some good points to follow the proper leading ones (e.g., Joash listening to Jehoiada at first), there are more child-friendly Bible stories that would be better suited for this point. The lesson is still on the website, but we included a NOTE TO SERVING ONES at the top that the content is better for middle schoolers and high schoolers.

Hezekiah—King of Judah (first part)
- We encourage the serving ones to read the Scriptures accompanying this lesson to get the feel and tone of what’s going on in the stories.
- This lesson on Hezekiah has been revised and split into two weeks.
- The first part of the lesson is about Hezekiah trusting God through various situations. The focus is to help the children realize that we can pray and fully trust the Lord in everything all our lives. The second part of the lesson warns against showing off, as Hezekiah did when he showed everything he had to the king of Babylon’s representatives. We need to be humble and guard against pride in our hearts.
- Some questions at the end of each Bible story have been added to help the serving ones and children understand the story.

This lesson has been revised to better capture the feeling and tone of what was going on in the Scripture. We encourage the serving ones to read the Scriptures that accompany this lesson. We also added a new application about choosing the Lord while we are still young. Josiah was 8 when he became king (elementary school age), around 16 when he sought after the God of David (high school age), and around 20 years old (college age) when he began to purge the idols. (2 Chron. 34:3). While we are still young, we can actively choose to please God, regardless of our family situation. During our fellowship, we also talked about having a proper response to the Word of God, as Josiah did. He not only heard the Word of God, but he took action.

Daniel and His Friends in Captivity
This lesson was originally one long lesson that included the captivity of the children of Israel into Babylon, and also the revelation and interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. We split this lesson into two separate lessons and updated some of the applications.

Daniel Praying with His Companions & The King’s Dream Revealed to Daniel (new separate lesson)
This lesson encourages the children to pray, not only individually but together with companions. We also removed the specific details of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and the specific interpretations of the kingdoms as we felt this was too much detail for the children. Instead, we focused on praying. We also added a new application showing Daniel’s humility in contrast to Hezekiah showing off.

Review the lessons on Daniel (since some children may miss lessons during the school break or the regional conference with brother Ed Marks in NJ).
