FAMILY PLUS Preschool - September 16

Hi Parents!
Please include these Bible stories and phrases in your everyday conversation with your child. Sing, talk, and remind your child about Jesus throughout the day. Through the loving way that your child hears from both you and their teachers talk about Jesus, the more easily your child will begin to understand just how special Jesus is.

This week September 18 the stories are the same. I have simplified each age group for you.

Babies, 2's & 3's

Here is your conversation starter for this week: Plan a lunch of fish sticks and bread. Include your child in the lunch preparations. As you work together, refer to the Bible story from their Bible or take a look at the take home page that they receive after class Sunday. Engage your child in helping you tell the Bible story. Remark: “Jesus performed miracles. One of the ways He showed love to people was by helping them.” Together, look up John 6 in the Bible. Pray thanking God for the many ways Jesus showed love to people.
