Shari the Butterfly=
- this butterfly is very plain underneath,=
but
shares the beautiful blue color on the tops of her wings with all the world! Ruth 2:1-17
Share=
every
good thing you have. Galatians 6:6
The story of Boaz s=

his harvest with Ruth, an outsider, is a perfect example of how we can sh=
are
with others what we have and what God has given us, and still have enough=
for
ourselves. Boaz has a bountiful harvest and shares what is left with
Ruth. Like Boaz, we can share with others and
still have enough for ourselves.

Meet Bill
Bill the Toucan is a
Chestnut-Mandibled Toucan. Toucans give music=
to
the rainforest with their loud and distinct cry. Furthermore, all
toucans are commonly known in many areas of the Neot=
ropics
as “Dios te de” (God gives to =
you)
because the three syllable call of the Chestnut-Mand=
ibled
Toucan sounds like this expression.

WE GIVE
Bible S=

4:42-44)
Bible M=

Bill the Toucan - Toucans give music to the rain=

with their loud, distinct cry. Toucans are known in many areas of t=
he
rainforest as “Dios te de” (God g=
ives
to you) because their call sounds like this expression. 2 Kings 4:42-44
If we can give, we should be generous. =
Romans 12:8.
The story and theme will focus on giving. With a gift of some grain and
twenty loaves of barley bread, Elisha is able to give food to the 100 peo=
ple
gathered around him, without taking any for himself.
A precursor to the miracle of Jesus feeding the 5,000, this story shows us
how God provides for us and how we can give these provisions to others. L=
ike
Elisha, when we give to others, we don’t keep any for ourselve=

Meet TAD!
Tad the Tree Frog is a Red-Eyed Tree Frog. The life
cycle of the frog includes great changes and growth: from an egg, to a
tadpole, to a frog! Like the frog, we change and grow too, both physically
and in our faith.

Tad the=
Frog - Frogs grow and change from a tiny egg, t=
o a
wriggling tadpole, to a hopping frog! We all change and grow in our
lives, too! Mark 4:30-32
Grow and be happy in your faith. Philippians 1:24.
The story and theme will fo=
cus on
how we grow both physically and in faith. Jesus uses the image of how a
mustard seed grows from a tiny seed to a wonderful tree to illustrate how
God’s kingdom grows. As the tree grows, it provides enough shade and
space for birds to nest in its branches.

phor,
Jesus expresses his love for us and commands us to love one another.
