1 Unit 12 Session 3 UNIT 12 SESSION 3 Use Week of: PRAISES OF GOD S PEOPLE Psalm 1; 100; 110 KEY PASSAGE: Psalm 100:5 MAIN POINT: God is BIBLE PASSAGE: The Bible Story Psalm 1; 100; 110 BIBLE STORY FOR TODDLERS Do you like to sing songs? In Bible times, people wrote songs called psalms to praise God. People would sing together to show how much they loved God. Sometimes they would sing to say they were sorry for their wrong choices. Sometimes they sang to tell other people about God s words. Psalm 1 says the person who obeys God will be happy, like a tree by a stream of water. Psalm 100 says all the earth should praise God! God made us, and we are His people. Psalm 110 tells us about God s plan to send Jesus! We read these songs in the Book of Psalms in the Bible. BABIES GOSPEL GEMS **People wrote songs to worship God. **We read the psalms in the Bible. **Some psalms tell about God s plan to send Jesus. Additional resources for each session are available at gospelproject.com. For free training and session-by-session help, visit 54 Babies and Toddlers Leader Guide Unit 12 Session 3
