In class today, your child heard that Jesus, God’s Son, instantly quieted a big storm when His disciples asked Him for help (Mark 4:35-41).

At home this week, encourage your child to use this project to tell you the Bible story. Remind your child that Jesus can do anything. He showed us that when He stopped the storm.

Practice the Bible memory verse: “[Jesus said] ‘Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father’” (John 14:9).
