In our Bible story today, a lady named Hannah was sad. Hannah did not have

a baby bottle. Hold up a bottle. Hannah did not have a baby blanket. Hold up

baby blanket. Hannah did not have a baby! Hold up empty hands. This made

her sad. Hannah cried because she did not have a baby.

Hold up the Big Bible and show the Teaching Picture of Hannah praying.

Hannah prayed. “Dear God, please give me a baby boy.” God heard Hannah

when she prayed. Hannah stopped crying. Hannah’s tummy got bigger and

bigger and one happy day, a baby boy was born. Bring out a baby doll and

place it in the blanket. Hannah called her baby, Samuel. Hannah was so

happy God answered her prayer. She sang and sang and sang.
