God Cares for Elijah Part 2 by Jennifer Tolbert
This lesson is focused on helping the children understand that God provides for his people as he did for the prophet Elijah through the widow at Zarephath. 

Key Concepts: 
1. Share what you have with others. 
2. God always provides for our needs. 
​3. Friends should always be willing to help each other. 

Memory Verse

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" which means "God with us." Isaiah 7:14

Songs

Old Testament Books
Trust and Obey
He's Got the Whole World in His Hands
My God is So Big
Give Me Oil in My Lamp

Story

Begin Class with Songs, Games, Table Activity, or Sharing Time
 
Open Class in Prayer

Introducing the Story Ideas
1. Ask the children how they would feel to give their last cookie away to someone else.
2. Ask the children how they would feel if their glass of milk never became empty even though they were drinking it.
 
READ 1 Kings 17:6-16 or tell the story of Elijah and the widow. 
EMPHASIZE that:
  • God can use you to bless and provide for someone else. 
  • God promises to meet our needs. 
  • We should have a heart for sharing.
