Paul’s Second Missionary Journey: Lydia and the Jailer — Grades 1–3 Sunday School Lesson

Free Grades 1–3 Sunday school lesson on Acts 16:1–40. The reviewed seven-page guide with full story script, plan, printed worksheet, key, sequence cards, and family page provides teacher background and ready-to-use activities. The story follows God’s guidance, Lydia’s hearing and hospitality, the rescue of a girl exploited by her owners, Paul and Silas in prison, and the jailer and his household hearing about Jesus. It avoids promising automatic salvation for relatives or guaranteed escape from suffering.

For teachers and families, Acts 16:31 (KJV): “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Read verse 32 too: the household heard God’s word. Nursery and pre-K learners use clearly labeled paraphrases. Read the chapter in your preferred translation.
