Peter and Cornelius

            Another easy week.  The story is found in Acts 10. 

Home Activities:

• Gather up your stuffed animals, or go to the zoo.  Read Leviticus 11; pick out the clean and unclean animals.  Discuss the Jewish law. 
• Or, try being kosher for a week; that will put any cook to a test!
• Visit an Orthodox Jewish synagogue; talk to some Jewish friends about being kosher.  Now, your child will understand more fully how Peter felt, after living all his life in a totally Jewish society, when God asked him to preach to and baptize a Gentile. 
• Sing “Jesus Loves the Little Children”:

Jesus loves the little children,

All the little children of the world.

Red and yellow, black and white,

They are precious in His sight.

Jesus loves the little children of the world.

Prayer:  Lord, help me to love all your people just as You do.
