FAMILY PLUS Preschool - September 1

Hi Parents!

This month your preschooler will be learning more about Jesus and things He did to show His love. Through Bible stories and activities, preschoolers will become more aware that Jesus loved people and showed His love in different ways such as by being kind and helpful to others, giving people things they needed, and making sick people well. 

 As you enjoy daily encounters with your child this month, make a point to talk about Jesus, sing songs about Him, and thank God for Him. Doing these simple things will help you lay spiritual foundations in your child's life.
