Ruler: Our Story Continues…
Our Story Continues is our way to connect parents to what kids are talking about and experiencing in the Sunday morning teaching.

Key Verse: We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him. | Romans 8:28
- READ Genesis 45:3-8. Take time to show your child how to look up a passage in the Bible. Show them how to navigate books, chapters, and verses. Ask your child: What happened before this? What happened after? What do you think his brothers were thinking? How do you think Joseph was feeling?
- WATCH the video teaching below with your family this week. Talk about the video as a family. What stood out to you? What did you like? What did you want to ask a question about? (Tip: If it’s helpful, consider pausing the video as you watch it together, and ask questions or talk about things that stick out to you as you go!)
