Acts 16:13-15 Our story comes from a book of the Bible called Acts. That name is short for “the Acts of the Apostles.” The word "Apostle" is another word to describe a helper of Jesus. The Bible tells us about a man named Paul. He liked to tell people about Jesus. Paul went to many different cities and even countries so he could help people learn about Jesus. Some of Paul’s friends went with him: A man named Silas, another man named Luke, and a young man named Timothy. Tramp, tramp, tramp. One day, Paul and his friends went to a city named Philippi. Paul and his friends taught the people in Philippi about Jesus. They told everyone they met that God loved them and sent His Son, Jesus. On God’s special day, they went for a walk down by a river. The river was right outside of the town. Paul and his friends were looking for a quiet place where they could pray because there wasn’t a synagogue at Philippi. A synagogue in Paul’s time was like our church building

When Dorcas saw grown-ups with ragged clothes, she sewed new clothes for them, too. Snip, snip, snip. Dorcas cut some material. Sew, sew. Dorcas made clothes for the people that needed them. One day, Dorcas became very sick. Her friends tried to help her. But Dorcas was so

Acts 4:32-37 Our story comes from a book of the Bible called Acts. That name is short for “the Acts of the Apostles.” The word "Apostle" is another word to describe a helper of Jesus. Our Bible story tells us about some people who loved Jesus. The people were gathered together in a room. Buzz, buzz, buzz. The room filled with talking and laughter. The people called themselves Christians because they did what Jesus Christ said to do (Christian means "follower of Christ"). The Christians knew that Jesus was God’s Son. They wanted others to know about Jesus, too. Grandmas, grandpas, moms, dads, and children met together in homes. They would pray, sing, and learn about Jesus together. All these people loved Jesus.
