Leader Introduction
Welcome students as they arrive with their parents.
OPTIONAL: As they arrive, play the song "Patience in Waiting.”
Today’s Bible story reinforces and expands the lesson from the previous two lessons about Abraham and Sarah. God made a covenant with Abraham, promising his wife Sarah would give birth to a son. The covenant went beyond that, with God promising that Abraham’s descendants would number more than the stars in the sky. After waiting one year, God’s promise was fulfilled. This lesson teaches children the benefits of waiting on God and trusting His promises.
