Instant PDF DownloadNEW for June 2026Free Sample Lesson (Kids Age 6-12 years old)Free Sample Lesson (PreK Age 3-5 years old) 💡 Big Idea: When life feels stormy or stuck, God is with us. He protects, leads, speaks, and even uses unexpected people to bring help. 📖 Memory Verse: Psalm 46:1 — “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” 🔍 Theme Hook: A playful island survival game-show spoof. Each week kids tackle “challenges,” open a weathered field file for the Bible story, and finish with a kind, positive Rescue Council—voting which fictional castaway receives a supply crate or encouragement (never voting real kids “off”). Optional team bandanas/leis and island décor amplify the fun. ✝️ Gospel Connection: Jesus rescued us through His death and resurrection; now He is with us in every storm. We practice trusting Him, praising Him first, listening for His voice, and helping others. 4-Week Lesson Overview Week 1 — Castaway Island: Paul and the Snake Island • Bible Story: Acts 28:1–10 • Key Discovery: God protects and heals—and He calls us to show kindness. • I can always: Trust God’s care and bless others.
