Stories with Esther & Poppy for GIGI Kids

Hey GIGI kids,
Today we have a great Bible story! This story tells about the prophet Elijah and how a chariot of fire transported him to heaven. You can find the story in your Bible in 2 Kings 2. Here's a sneak peek...
When they reached the edge of the Jordan river Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and struck the water with it. The water divided to the right and to the left, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, "Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?"
"Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit," Elisha replied.
"You have asked a difficult thing," Elijah said, "yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours—otherwise, it will not."

Hey GIGI kids,
Today we have a great story about Stompy the little elephant and a fun Easter Parade. Stompy learns all about what the true meaning of Easter is.
Here's a sneak peek:
When Stompy arrived home, she went straight to Mama Elephant, who was feeding baby elephant some mashed banana.
"Mama," she said, "Mrs. Flamingo said we have to decorate an Easter hat for the parade, and the theme is chocolate and bunnies. But I'm a bit confused about the chocolate and bunnies."
 "I can definitely help you with that," Mama Elephant replied. "You see, Easter isn't about chocolates and bunnies—it's about remembering Jesus' death and resurrection."
"Oh! Can you explain it to me? Stompy asked, sitting down in front of Mama.
Mama smiled and nodded.

Hey GIGI kids,
Today we have a great story based on Mei and Ginger. You will love it! Here's a sneak peek...
Just then, the first firework shot into the sky with a boom! And burst into sparkling colours. Mesmerised, Mei's eyes widened. She began walking towards the lights, licking her cone, her mind lost in the beauty of the fireworks. She didn't notice how far she had wandered.
The ice cream truck was gone now, and her feet were tired. The people around her had changed; she didn't recognise any of the buildings. The laughter and lights seemed distant. Mei stopped. "Ginger… where are we?"
Ginger meowed softly and brushed against her leg. Mei turned one way, then another. The streets all looked the same. Her tummy filled with fear.
"Oh no," she whispered. "I'm lost." She picked up Ginger and hugged him tightly. "What am I going to do?" Her eyes filled with tears. "Jesus, please help me. I'm scared."

Hey GIGI kids,
Today we have a beautiful Bible story about a woman called Dorcas - you can find her story in the Bible in Acts 9:39-42. Here is a sneak peek....
Days passed, and Cyrus and his mother waited anxiously for Dorcas to send word that she had completed the dress. But the only news they got was that Dorcas was very sick.
"Oh, no!" Cyrus' mother sobbed. "Poor Dorcas! She has done so much to help everyone in this village; there must be something we can do to help her."
Cyrus and his mother walked through the city to Dorcas' house so that they could cheer her up with kind words and some flowers that Cyrus had picked from the garden.
When they reached the house, Cyrus saw that Dorcas' small bedroom was already crowded with local people who had come to visit her and pray for her.
Squeezing into the house, they found a spot where they could see Dorcas.
She was lying very still on her bed. Her skin was burning up with fever, and she let out a dreadful cough. Her face looked thin and pale, and Cyrus could tell that she was very sick indeed.

Hey GIGI kids,
Today we have a great story for you called "The Case of the Missing Manger." A story reminding us that Christmas is about Jesus and not the material things. Here's a sneak peek....
Sunnyhill Primary was buzzing with excitement. The scent of crayons, pine decorations, and fresh photocopy paper filled the Year 2 classroom. It was one week before Christmas, and that meant only one thing: The Christmas Assembly was nearly here!
"Alright, everyone," said Mrs Lane, clapping her hands. "Time to unpack the nativity props!"
Cheers filled the air.
Rosie bounced on her toes. "I hope the angel wings are back!"
Elijah grinned. "I just hope the shepherd costumes don't itch this year."
Hannah, holding her script, smiled proudly. "Well, I'm Mary. So I get to rock the baby Jesus!"
Mrs Lane gently opened a large storage box and carefully unwrapped a small, hand-carved wooden manger. Nestled inside was a cloth-wrapped baby Jesus figure with painted eyes and a peaceful smile.
"This," she said, holding it up, "is the most important part of our nativity."
The class grew quiet. Even Luca stopped fidgeting.
Mrs Lane placed the manger gently on a small table at the front of the classroom. Around it, they arranged tiny cardboard animals, some straw, and wooden figures of Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds.
"We decorate, we sing, we wear costumes," said Mrs Lane, "but remember—Jesus is the reason for Christmas. Not lights or lollies or tinsel—Jesus."
Rosie felt a warm, special feeling in her chest. She looked at the tiny baby and whispered, "You're the whole reason we're doing this."
The children spent the rest of the afternoon rehearsing. Hannah practiced rocking a pretend baby, Elijah worked on his shepherd lines, and Rosie read her narration into the microphone.
But as the sun dipped behind the schoolyard trees and the last bell rang, none of them knew what was coming.
The manger would be gone by morning.
And the Christmas mystery… would begin.
