This is the big idea of how this week’s Bible story points to Jesus.

• Babies & Toddlers: God wants us to work together to tell others about Jesus. 
• Younger Preschool: Matthias was chosen to join Jesus' friends to tell others about Jesus. God wants us to work together to tell others about Jesus, too. 
• Older Preschool: Matthias was chosen to join the disciples to tell others about Jesus. God wants us to work together to tell others about Jesus, too. 
• Kids: Matthias was chosen to join the apostles in sharing what they learned about Jesus. God calls us to join in this mission of sharing the gospel, working in community, and seeking Him in prayer.
