Jesus calls the children
MARK 10:13-15
God loves each and every one of his children –big and small.
One day, a group of mothers brought their little ones to Jesus. The children were so excited! But Jesus’ helpers said, “Go away!”
Jesus said, “No, do not chase them away! Come here!”
The children were very happy and Jesus prayed for them. Jesus loves children!
Children are important to God.
PRAYER
I am glad that I am important to you, even though I am young. Amen. 18 19

A baby in a basket
Miriam said, “I can find someone to take care of the baby!”
The princess replied, “Go quickly, little girl!”
Miriam ran to fetch her mother.
The princess asked, “Will you look after the baby and give him milk until he is old enough to live with me?”
Moses’ mother said, “Oh, yes!”
She was happy to take her baby home. God had made sure that Moses was safe!

The road to freedom
God appeared as a tall cloud to show them the way to go every day; God appeared as a tall fire to show them the way to go every night.
When they reached the Red Sea, Moses lifted his stick and the wind blew a path across the sea so everyone could cross over safely on dry land.
God’s people were no longer slaves in Egypt! They were free!
God provided food when the people were hungry. God provided water when they were thirsty.

The YesKids series is based on 2 Corinthians 1:20-22. God’s promises are stamped with a big YES! from Jesus, who is the centre of everything we preach, teach and pray - He is God’s great Amen (so be it). When we say YES! to Jesus, the Bible tells us: “God affirms us, making us a sure thing in Christ, putting his Yes within us” (The Message). The YesKids Bible Story Series helps children to be YesKids who say a big Yes! to following Jesus. Each story is accompanied by a prayer to help children connect with God and a Christian value that reinforces the story. The books include guidelines for helping children with faith-building, vocabulary, numeracy- and reading skills and emotional development.

Supporting a Christian upbringing, Bomani’s escapades provide a wonderful opportunity for parents and children to connect and discuss essential life lessons together. Make story time an enjoyable and enriching experience with Bomani the Meerkat!
Walking home, content and sticky with honey, Thandi smiled and said, “Bomani, you’re one of a kind. It’s no wonder everyone knows you in the Kalahari.”
Bomani just laughed and offered Thandi his last bite of honeycomb. That day, all the meerkats learned that being generous and sharing with each other makes everything sweeter!
Don’t be selfish. It’s wrong to keep everything for yourself. Always try
share with other people.
Do not forget to do good and to help one another, because these are the sacrifices that please God.
HEBREWS 13:16 Prayer
Jesus, help me not to be selfish, because it makes you happy when I share with other people. Amen
FUN QUESTIONS:
1. If you were a meerkat with Bomani, what other yummy treat would you love to share with your friends, and how would you get it?
2. Imagine you were there with Bomani when he was dancing around the snake. What kind of silly dance moves would you use to confuse the snake?
VALUE-BASED QUESTIONS:
1. Why is sharing important for the meerkats? How did Bomani teach them the value of generosity?
2. How did Bomani’s actions show that it’s important to care for and protect others? Can you think of a time when you helped or protected a friend?
3. What lesson did Dozey learn about sharing, and how can you apply that lesson in your own life, especially with your friends or family?
