Welcome to the Watermark Plano Kids Kit Preschool edition! Our heart is to share God’s truth with you and your kids in a simple and engaging format. We miss seeing each of our sweet preschoolers each Sunday, but hopefully our Plano version will bring some familiar faces to you in your home. Find a time this week that works for your family to WATCH, READ, DISCUSS and DO together!

Our goal for preschool curriculum is to build a foundation of biblical knowledge so preschoolers will know the major stories of the Bible and how they fit together into God’s big story. We teach the major stories of the Bible in mostly chronological order, and each week there is a Teaching Truth we want kids to hear and learn about God and His Story.

READ This:

You can read to your children the NLT passage below or from the Beginner’s Bible, “Paul's Journeys” (p. 494-499). To learn more about Paul's other journeys read Acts 13-14, 15:36-21:14

Acts 9:20-31 NLT

20 And immediately he began preaching about Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “He is indeed the Son of God!”

21 All who heard him were amazed. “Isn’t this the same man who caused such devastation among Jesus’ followers in Jerusalem?” they asked. “And didn’t he come here to arrest them and take them in chains to the leading priests?”

22 Saul’s preaching became more and more powerful, and the Jews in Damascus couldn’t refute his proofs that Jesus was indeed the Messiah. 23 After a while some of the Jews plotted together to kill him. 24 They were watching for him day and night at the city gate so they could murder him, but Saul was told about their plot. 25 So during the night, some of the other believerslowered him in a large basket through an opening in the city wall.

26 When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to meet with the believers, but they were all afraid of him. They did not believe he had truly become a believer! 27 Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and told them how Saul had seen the Lord on the way to Damascus and how the Lord had spoken to Saul. He also told them that Saul had preached boldly in the name of Jesus in Damascus.

28 So Saul stayed with the apostles and went all around Jerusalem with them, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord. 29 He debated with some Greek-speaking Jews, but they tried to murder him. 30 When the believers heard about this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus, his hometown.

31 The church then had peace throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria, and it became stronger as the believers lived in the fear of the Lord. And with the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, it also grew in numbers.

DISCUSS This:

  1. What are people who follow Jesus called? (Christians.)
  2. How did people react when they heard Paul teaching about Jesus? (Some people believed in Jesus, too, but some tried to kill Paul because they did not like him sharing about Jesus.)
  3. What do you think God wants us to learn from this story? (People who follow Jesus are called Christians. We are to tell others about Jesus and His love for them.)

DO This:

Sidewalk Journey: Use sidewalk chalk to draw a pathway of waves on one area of your driveway or sidewalk, and draw a footprint pathway to another area. Place a “crowd” of stuffed animals or action figures at the end of your pathways. Travel along the pathways to tell the “crowd” about Jesus. Pretend you are rowing a boat along the waves and marching on the footprints. When you arrive at the “crowd”, tell them, “Jesus loves you!” For extra fun, you can write, “Jesus loves you” on your sidewalk for your neighbors to read as they walk by.
