Today's sheet for Noah's Buddies

Print and post one by the door, one at the craft table, and one in Noah's Nook so every buddy is saying the same words all morning.

Project Noah · The Ark Room · Noah's Buddies

Today we are learning about Joseph and Potiphar

Our repeated storyline

God Is Always With Me

Genesis 39–40 · Joseph and Potiphar

Memory verse

“The Lord was with Joseph.”

Genesis 39:2

Simple: God is always with me.

Joseph's story points to Jesus

Joseph did right but was blamed and sent to jail. Jesus never did wrong, was blamed for us, and came to save us.

“I am with you always.” — Matthew 28:20 · Jesus is with me always.

My Ark Room story

Read this with the student before class, one line at a time.

  1. Today I come to the Ark Room. My buddy says hello and helps me find my spot.
  2. First we do sensory time. My body gets calm. I can squeeze, rock, or breathe.
  3. Then we sing. I can sing, clap, listen, or wear my headphones. All of that is okay.
  4. Then we hear about Joseph. He worked for Potiphar, said no to doing wrong, and went to jail.
  5. Everywhere Joseph went, God was with him. God is with me too.
  6. Then we do a craft. I can help, watch, or take a break. My buddy stays with me.
  7. Jesus is always with me — at church, at home, and everywhere I go.

Buddy reminders

  • • Say the storyline with motions every time you transition.
  • • Any answer counts — a point, a card, a sign, an AAC tap, a sound, or a word.
  • • Honor a break request right away. Asking is a win.
  • • Name the theme out loud: “God is always with me.”
