FAMILY PLUS Preschool - April 14

This week's story is very exciting! People Welcoming Jesus! As Jesus rode into Jerusalem people were taking off their coats and laying them on the ground along with palm branches.  I can visualize how excited people were that He was coming. People and children shouting and with enthusiasm "Hosanna, Hosanna!!"

Here is a challenge for you this week... How can you express love for Jesus this week? Print words of praises on  index cards and tape them where you will see them throughout the week. Say those praises out loud. Remind your preschooler to Thank God for sending his son, Jesus. Thank God for giving us a friend like Jesus to love.


This Sunday April 17, 2011
Each age group's story is the same this week. I have simplified each age level.


Kindergarten and Wee Worship
Bible Story: People Welcomed Jesus Matthew 21:1-11, 14-16
Jesus and His disciples were walking along the road to Jerusalem. They were going to celebrate passover. When they came near a town called Bethphage (BETH fuh jee), Jesus said to two of His helpers, "Go into town. You will find a mother donkey and her colt there. Bring them to Me."

The two
disciples brought the donkeys back to Jesus. They spread their coats on the the young donkey. Jesus sat on the coats and began riding to Jerusalem.
Along the way, people spread their coats on the road. Others cut branches from palm trees and spread them on the road. As Jesus passed by, the people praised Him. They shouted, "Hosanna! Hosanna!" when Jesus entered the city, there were some people saying, "Who is this man?" the crowd answered, "This is Jesus." They also told them about how Jesus went to the temple and He had healed people who were blind and people who could not walk. Children in the temple called "Hosanna! Hosanna!" to Jesus.
Some men were upset when they heard the things Jesus did and heard the children praising Him. "Jesus," they asked, "do you hear those children?" Jesus answered, "YES, haven't you read what the Bible says? God planned for children to praise Him." Jesus knew that the children were doing what God wanted them to do.


Level of Biblical Learning - (Jesus) Jesus is God's one and only Son.
