Day 1 – THE STORY
Joseph died, and the Egyptians didn’t remember who Joseph and his people were anymore. Pharaoh decided to make all of the Israelites, Joseph’s people, into slaves. Pharaoh and his people were afraid that God’s people would get too big and take over Egypt, so they ordered all the sons to be killed. Today, you are going to investigate what Moses’ mom did to save him from being killed.

Day 3 – THE SOURCE
You have read about three people who saved a little boy’s life. It is a crazy story but it happened. Some of you might be like Moses who had two moms. Moses didn’t grow up with his real mom. She had to give him up to save his life. Moses grew up with his adopted mom. She was an Egyptian so she could have ignored the baby in the basket; but she had compassion and became his mom. God used both of these women to save Moses’ life and let him grow up to do what He had planned for him.
