HELP!: A 4-WEEK SERIES FROM EXODUS ON MOSES
WEEK 4 BIG IDEA:  GOS HELPS US HELP OTHERS.

SERIES OVERVIEW:

An important part of childhood is learning which grown-ups you can trust. The very first phone number most kids tend to learn is an emergency number because it's important to know who to call when we need help! In this series, we'll help kids see that they can always call on God for the things they need. As kids hear the story of Israel escaping slavery in Egypt (and what happened afterward), they'll discover that God helps us when we're helpless, helps us in our weakness, helps us when we're in trouble, and will even help us help others. God is the help we need — always!
