Dear Parents/Guardians,

Greetings! This week, your kids learned about Jesus’ parable of the good Samaritan.

Here’s a glimpse at this week’s Bible focus—
• Session Title: Love Like God
• Bible Story & Scripture Reference: A Kind Man’s Love (Luke 10:25-37)
• Preschoolers Text Truth: Love others as God loves us.
• K – 2nd Grade Text Truth: God has called us to love others.
• 3rd – 5th Grade Text Truth: God has called us to love others through our words, thoughts, and actions.

PARENT TIPS:
In the story, a man was hurt and left on the road. Two men passed by without helping, but a Samaritan stopped, cared for the man, and showed mercy. Jesus taught that loving others means showing compassion through our actions.

To keep the conversation going, ask your kids: “Who is someone our family can show kindness to this week?” Brainstorm practical ideas to show kindness to this neighbor, such as making homemade cards or notes, taking them a meal, or doing a chore for them. Pray and thank God for neighbors who have shown your family kindness. Call them by name and remind your kids of specifically how they were kind.

Try answering the questions below together:

 1. What happened to the man who was traveling on the road?
Hint: Think about what happened to him before the two men passed by.
 He was hurt, robbed, and left on the road.

2. What did the two men do when they saw the hurt man?
Hint: Did they stop to help him or keep going?
 They passed by without helping him.

3. What did the Samaritan do when he saw the hurt man?
Hint: Think about how he showed compassion through his actions.
 He stopped, cared for the man, and showed him mercy.

4. What did Jesus teach us about loving others through this story?
Hint: Love is more than just saying kind words. What can we do to show love?
 We should show love and compassion to others through our words, thoughts, and actions.

5. Who is someone our family can show kindness to this week? What can we do for that person?
Hint: Think of a neighbor, friend, family member, or someone who may need help.
 We can make a card or note, take them a meal, help with a chore, or find another practical way to show kindness.

親愛的弟兄姐妹：

主內平安！本周，孩子们学习了耶稣所讲的“好撒玛利亚人”的比喻。

以下是我們在課堂上重點學習到的內容：
• 本週主題：像上帝一样去爱
• 《聖經》故事及經文參考：一位善良之人的爱（路加福音 10:25-37）
•  3-5岁班经文真理：像上帝爱我们一样去爱别人。
•  K-2年级班经文真理：上帝呼召我们去爱别人。
•  3-5年级班经文真理：上帝呼召我们通过言语、思想和行动去爱别人。

家長帶領孩子回顧內容技巧：
在这个故事中，有一个人受了伤，被留在路旁。有两个人经过，却没有帮助他；但有一个撒玛利亚人停下来，照顾这个受伤的人，并向他施行怜悯。耶稣借着这个故事教导我们，爱别人不仅仅是说一些友善的话，更要通过实际的行动来关心和帮助别人。

为了继续和孩子谈论这周所学的内容，可以问问他们：
“这周我们家可以向谁表达 kindness（善意和关怀）呢？”

和孩子一起想一想，可以通过哪些实际的方式向这位邻居表达关心，例如亲手制作一张卡片或写一张便条、为他们准备一顿饭，或者帮他们做一件家务。
也可以一起祷告，感谢上帝赐给我们那些曾经向我们的家庭表达过善意和帮助的邻居。可以特别说出他们的名字，并提醒孩子他们曾经做过哪些具体的事情来帮助和关心我们的家庭。

一起来回答下面的问题：
1. 那个走在路上的人发生了什么事？
提示： 想一想，在那两个男人经过之前，这个人经历了什么？
 他被抢劫、受了伤，并被丢在路旁。

2. 那两个男人看到受伤的人时做了什么？
提示： 他们停下来帮助他了吗？还是继续往前走？
 他们没有帮助他，而是从他身边经过。

3. 撒玛利亚人看到受伤的人时做了什么？
提示： 想一想，他是怎样用实际行动来表达怜悯和关心的？
 他停下来照顾这个人，并向他施行怜悯。

4. 通过这个故事，耶稣教导我们应该怎样爱别人？
提示： 爱不只是说一些友善的话，我们还可以怎样表达爱呢？
 我们应该通过自己的言语、思想和行动来爱别人，并向他们表达关心和怜悯。

5. 这周我们家可以向谁表达善意？我们可以为这个人做些什么？
提示： 想一想你的邻居、朋友、家人，或者身边可能需要帮助的人。
 我们可以为他们制作一张卡片或写一张便条、送一顿饭、帮他们做一件家务，或者想出其他实际的方式来表达我们的关心和帮助。
