Lesson 2: Mary and Joseph Take a Trip

This lesson we learned about Journeys

In our story, Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem. We talked about trips we have been on before and how we can get places. Mary and Joseph didn't have cars, airplanes or boats! They had to ride a donkey or walk.

We coloured a picture of Mary and Joseph riding their donkey to Bethlehem and everyone had a go and writing their name!

After our story we talked about what we pack when we go on a long journey and thought about the things Mary and Joseph would of taken with them! Then we all packed a picnick and the travelling train took us on a journey outside under the shady trees! We searched every where for our apples and then we found them in the class room. For out picnick we had apples, peaches and pear! Yummy!

Our memory verse for this week is the same verse as last week, but this time we chose the first half:
"For unto us a child is born" Isiah 9:6!

Where will the Travelling Train take us next week?

Lesson 1: A Baby is Coming

A Baby is Coming

This lesson we learned about Choices!

In our story an angel came to Mary and told her that she is going to have a baby! Mary wondered why and how, and the angel told her it was because God had chosen her.

Our friend Conductor Kelley came to talk to us about how she loves trains and that must be what God chose for her to do! Drive trains!

we coloured in a picture of a train and learned that "God chose me, for you!"

We played "Angel, Angel, Mary" and the children got to chose who they wanted to chase them.

We made a special train with our arms and we went around the room! Choo Choo!!

Our memory verse was "Jesus is born" (Isiah 9:6)


Where will the Traveling Train take us next week?

Welcome to Sunday School!


All aboard the Traveling Train!

This term our theme is trains! The Traveling Train will help our little ones to dive into God's Word in a new and exciting way! By using this theme, the children will learn about the journey of life in Christ!

Our first unit is entitled "A Special Baby" and we talk about the importance of the birth of Jesus!

Unit Two is "Cousin John" where we all learn about the life of John the Baptist!

The third and final unit is called "God is Love" where we aim to teach our little ones about God's amazing love!

We use activities, games and role plays to help the children remember the lessons easily and also make sure it's pack full of FUN! Every lesson

Memory Verses

We use memory verses so the children can remember the lesson and also to teach them the importance of the Bible! Of course some scriptures are too long for younger children to remember, so we abbreviate them to make them shorter, but still keep the central focus point.

For example:

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given" would be abbreviated to "Jesus is born"


God Bless!
