Attendance Passport: Tear out the inside front and back cover for the first week. This
is the memory verse and attendance record passport. Each week the students will add
a sticker to their passport for their attendance and a sticker for reciting the previous
week’s verse.
To make the passport, help the students fold both pages in fourths. Place the passport
cover page, folded in half with the cover facedown, on a table. Place the other page,
folded in half, on top (so Lesson 4 and 5 boxes face up with the open edge down).
Staple the pages in the center crease and fold into a passport. Refer to picture.

Fall Quarter 2012 Overview
Dear Parents,
We are thrilled that you’ve chosen to bring your child to the
Middler Department of our Sunday School. Fall is an exciting
time—school starts again, autumn leaves change color, and a
new quarter begins for learning important truths about God. We
encourage you to keep Sunday School and church a part of your
family’s schedule.
Partnering with You
The Fall Quarter begins with an introductory survey of the
Bible, in which your child will learn how the books of the Bible fit
together as a whole. Bible lessons then focus on the four main
events and people in the book of Genesis. Your child will learn
about God’s creation of the world, what it means to be made in
God’s image, and how Adam and Eve’s disobedience brought sin
into the world. Lessons on Abraham will help your child discover
what it means to follow God, and two lessons on Jacob will
encourage your child to live honestly and yield to God. Finally,
lessons on the life of Joseph will teach the concept that we can
trust God no matter what happens in life.
Review with Your Child
This quarter’s memory verses are listed on the back of this
page. Please help your child learn the weekly memory verse
by reviewing it at home throughout the week. A sticker will be
added to your child’s Truth Traveler’s Passport after he or she
recites the verse in class the following week.
Show an interest in your child’s activity pages and devotionals
in the Truth Traveler’s take-home papers. Encourage him or her
to retell the Bible story. Your child will certainly benefit from your
guidance and involvement in the study of God’s Word.
Sincerely,
(teacher)
Weeks 1–3
Creation
This unit focuses on how the Bible
fits together and how the world
was created. Your child will learn
not only how great God is but
also what it means to be created
in the wonderful image of God.
Weeks 4–7
Fall and Flood
The Bible stories in this unit begin
with the first sin in the world,
followed by the worldwide flood
and the tower of Babel. Your child
will learn that the solution to sin
is the gospel of Christ and that
God is both gracious and just.
Weeks 8–13
Abraham to Joseph
Your child will learn to follow God
from the examples of Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob in the last six
lessons. The life of Joseph will
teach your child that he can trust
God no matter what happens.
After thirteen weeks, your child
will have completed an overview
of the book of Genesis and will
know about its four main events
and people.
