Children's Church Lesson: Mothers Day-Baby Moses


Story
Say: What is today? (Mother’s Day!)  That’s right.  Today is the day we honor or mothers for all the wonderful things they do for us.  What are some of the great things are mom’s do for us? (Give the children plenty of time to answer).  Those are all good answers!  Today we are going to read a story about a mother from the bible and a wonderful thing she did for her baby son, Moses.
Read “Baby Moses” in any children's story bible.

Lesson
Say: What was Pharaoh afraid of and why? (God’s People, the Hebrews; he thought they would try to become more powerful than him)  What did the Pharaoh do? (Make the Hebrews very hard and demanded that all the Hebrew baby boys be drowned)  What did Moses’ mother do (protected him by making a floating basket and hiding him in it) what happened to baby Moses? (He was protected and grew up in Pharaoh’s palace)
Moses’ mother was pretty amazing wasn’t she?  Our mothers are a lot like her.  Just like Moses mother protected him and took care of him our mothers protect us and take care of us.  We should be thankful for our mothers and we should honor and obey them.

Big Idea
God gave us mothers to take care of us.  We should be thankful for our mothers and we should honor and obey them.  

Memory Verse
Honor your mother and father. – Ephesians 6:2

Prayer
Say a short prayer thanking God are mothers and asking for help to obey are parents.
