WEEK 3 LESSON: May 17, 2026
G2K: True story—God hears us when we pray.
Memory Verse: Romans 1:16
Bible Lesson: Peter’s Miraculous Escape: Acts 12:1–17; Ephesians 1:15–23
WEEKLY CHALLENGE: This week, we taught that God hears us when we pray. Life can sometimes feel like a wild adventure story full of surprises, challenges, delays, and unexpected twists. But through every chapter, every high moment, and every difficult season, God is always listening. In our Bible story, the church prayed for Peter while he was in prison, and God answered in an amazing way. Sometimes God answers quickly, sometimes differently than we expect, and sometimes we must wait, but we can always trust that He hears every prayer. True story—God hears us when we pray.
Weekly Challenge Instructions: To reinforce this lesson, use this activity; Give your child strips of construction paper or cardstock along with drawing utensils and have them design their own bookmark featuring today’s Good to Know. Encourage them to decorate it with adventure themes, prayer reminders, or symbols that help them remember God is always listening. Every time they open a book and see their bookmark, they’ll be reminded that God hears them whenever they pray.
