January 19th & 26th: Noah

Read the story of Noah with your child:

“Noah! Build a boat,” God said. “Fill it with animals.”

Two at a time, animals crawled, flew, and waddled onto the boat.

Noah and his family hurried inside. Let’s look up to see the storm clouds gather.

A storm began! For 40 days rain poured from the sky. It rained and rained for 40 days!

A flood covered the whole world with water. That is so much rain!

Finally the rain stopped. The water dried up.

Two at a time, animals slithered, hopped, and wriggled off the boat.

Noah and his family hurried outside. The flood was over! God put a rainbow in the sky.

“I will never flood the earth again,” God promised.

When we see a rainbow in the sky, we can remember God’s promise.

Pray together:

Dear God, thank you for keeping promises to us.

Where we are,

Whatever we do.

Thank you for being with us.

Amen.
