FAMILY PLUS Preschool - November 11

Hi Parents and Grandparents!

This week help your preschooler learn about right choices that he/she can make. Talk about ways they can help at home or things he can do to show kindness to a friend. Praise them when he/she chooses to do the right thing. Remind your child that the Bible helps us know the right things to do. Mention the Bible verses as you talk with your child, and lead your preschooler to pray daily and thank God for helping him/her to grow and learn.

This Sunday November 13, 2011 Your Preschooler will hear a story about -

David and Jonathan promised to Be friends (1 samuel 14:49; 18:1-4; 20:1-42)
Bible Story Brief -
• David went to live in King Saul’s palace. He and King Saul’s son,
Jonathan, became best friends. David and Jonathan promised always to be
friends.
• Jonathan took off his robe, his belt, his sword, and his bow for
shooting arrows and gave them to David. He wanted to show how much he
loved David.
• Later, King Saul became jealous of David and wanted to hurt him. David
left the palace.
• David met Jonathan and said to him, “King Saul wants to hurt me.”
Jonathan promised to find out what his father was planning to do.
• Jonathan learned that King Saul did want to hurt David. David would
have to leave to be safe.
• The next day, Jonathan said good-bye to his friend. Both friends were
sad. “We have promised to be friends,” Jonathan said. “God will
help us remember our promise to love each other.”

Bible Truth - God wants me to love everyone.
Life Application - I can show love to everyone.
Bible Verse - God loves us, so we should love one another. 1 John 4:11

Conversation Starters: Plan a play date for your child this week. Try to invite one of your child’s friends over to your house to play. Find time to tell the Bible story to your child and his/her friend. As the children play together, comment: “You are taking turns and being kind. This reminds me of this week’s Bible verse, ‘God loves us so we should love one another. 1 John 4:11.’ ” Invite the two children to hop up and down and say the verse, turn in a circle and say the verse, and hold hands and sway back and forth as they say the verse together.
