What We Are Learning In Elementary :: October Week 4
October Overview:
This month, kids will learn we serve a God who has power — the King of Kings! In a month when the world often focuses on spookiness, kids will discover they don’t have to be afraid because our God is strong and powerful.

Scripture:
Mark 4:35-41 (Jesus Calms the Storm)
Focus:
Jesus used His power to calm a scary storm and bring peace. He is bigger than anything we fear.
Bottom Line:
I don’t have to be afraid — God is bigger than any fear.
Application:
I can turn to God when I’m afraid because He has power over everything.
In this week’s lesson, kids will learn that when fear rises, we can turn to Jesus. He brings us peace, and He is more powerful than the storm.
💬 Family discussion questions:
What did the disciples do when the storm hit? What did Jesus do?
What’s something that sometimes makes you afraid? What can you do this week to turn to God when you feel afraid?
What are some ways you can remind yourself to turn to God? (e.g., leave notes around your room, tell each other throughout the day, wear a bracelet with the word “turn” on it, etc.)
🕰 Engage in everyday moments together this week:
Morning Time: Before your kid goes to school or off to an event, tell them, “If you feel afraid today, remember God is bigger.”
Mealtime: Share about a fear and how you can ask God for help.
Drive Time: Talk about storms you’ve seen and how Jesus calmed one.
Bedtime: Pray, “God, thank You that You are bigger than our fears.”
