Watering Hole: 1st - 5th Grades
Ms. Tracy invites you to come with your kids to our virtual Watering Hole Sunday service! This weekly video runs approximately 25 minutes, and will simulate a condensed Sunday morning in the Watering Hole, with songs, Bible verse review, story, and lesson application! Ms. Tracy encourages parents and grandparents to complete the extra activities described under the video as well!
Find the story in the Bible!
Help your kids find and read Jesus' teachings from today from the gospel of Matthew: Matthew 14:22-36. Today, start with a fun activity: "Will it float?" Gather multiple objects from inside or outside your home, and then predict if the object will float or not. Use a sink, bathtub, pool, etc. to test out your child's predictions. Next, google some pictures of the water at night. Imagine with your child how scary it must have been, and how much courage Peter must have had to step out of that boat - especially at night, when you can't see what's under the water!
Worship through Song
Play and sing our worship song, "The Gospel" Talk about who your family might be able to "go and tell" the gospel to, or perhaps invite to "come and see" the Good News at church!
Memory Verse
Help your child memorize John 3:16 by singing the song! Don't forget to talk about what it means. If your child already knows John 3:16, challenge them to memorize verse 17 as well!

- Why do you think Jesus walked on the water out to the disciples? (possible answers - to show He is God, to give them an opportunity to stretch their faith)
- How do you think Peter felt when he first stepped out? ...when he started walking ON the water?!? ...when he started to sink?
- Who do you trust? How well do you know that person?
- What can you do to know and trust Jesus more? Is there something you can do courageously for Him?
