Talk About the Bible Story

Wedding at Cana
John 2:1-11

Jesus turns water into a special wedding drink at a wedding celebration.

“I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.”

Luke 2:10, ESV

Engagement Questions

• Who gives you joy?
• When do you need help?

Prayer

"Dear God, thank You for giving us Jesus to be our friend forever and help us. Knowing we have Jesus is good news that brings great joy! Help us remember to talk to You when we need help so You can help us. We love You, God. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

ENGAGE IN EVERYDAY MOMENTS TOGETHER

Morning Time

When you go into your child’s room, cuddle them and say: "Good morning, [child's name]! Guess who is going to help us have joy today? Jesus! Jesus gives you joy, and Jesus gives me joy!"
 

Drive Time

While on the go, talk about how long it takes to get where you're going. Talk about how long it takes to get to other places, both near and far. Then, talk about how long forever is. Forever never stops. FOREVER is how long Jesus wants to be our friend!

Cuddle Time

Cuddle with your child and pray: "God, when we have a problem, help us go to Jesus for help. Knowing Jesus loves us and wants to help us gives us joy!"
 

Bath Time

Add toy cups, plates, and food to bath time. As you pretend to have a party, talk about how Jesus was at a wedding party one time when they ran out of special wedding drink. Jesus did something only He can do. He turned water into special wedding drink! The people who knew what Jesus did had so much joy!
