FAMILY PLUS Update March 10

I hope that over the past few weeks these emails have given you and your family an opportunity to talk about the stories and verses together.
If your preschooler receives any awards or achievements I would like to know about them. It doesn't matter even if its a perfect attendance or a gym award. I want to celebrate these accomplishments with them.  I would also like to know their schedules if they are in any kind of extra curricular activity, soccer, baseball, dance, dance recitals, graduations, plays... etc. I would love to try to go to something they are excited about.

We will continue to talk about creation this week. Its warming up, take this opportunity to go to the park as a family and have some fun. Its a perfect setting to talk with them about all the beautiful things that God has made.

This Sunday March 13, 2011
This week each age group  will have a little difference in the Bible stories.  I have separated each age group for this week.

Kindergarten

Bible story: God created man and woman Genesis 2;15-17; 3:2, 6 ,20-23
God created man and named him Adam. God placed Adam in a garden called Eden to care for it. God told Adam "You may eat the fruit of any tree in the garden except one tree, the tree of good and evil. Don not eat the fruit of that tree."
God also created a woman. Adam named her Eve. Eve knew what God had said. Eve chose to disobey God. Eve gave some fruit to Adam and he chose to disobey God too.
God created Adam and Eve with the ability to choose good choices and bad choices.

Bible Verse: God made man and woman  Genesis 1:27

With this Bible story and verse your preschoolers will begin to learn and understand:
-God created people to be able to make choices
-God still loves each of us when we choose to make wrong choices.
-Will be able to retell this familiar Bible story
-Explore  the world God made and thank Him for what He has made
-Will be able to repeat and remember simple Bible verses
