FAMILY PLUS Preschool - March 31

Dear Parents and Grandparents,

Thank you for sending schedules of your preschoolers events. If you have not sent me their schedule please send them to me. I would love to show up to one of their events.
 You can help your child learn important Bible truths every week. Use the parent challenge and activities below as you teach your child the Bible truths. Keep the weekly take home pages handy for a valuable reference. If possible, invest in a Bible for your child. Also making sure they see you read your Bible, this will also be very valuable. 
This Sunday, April 1, 2012, your preschooler will hear this story -
(The stories are the same this week. I have simplified it for you.)


3's - Pre-K through Kindergarten and Wee Worship
People Welcomed Jesus (Matthew 21:1-11,14-16)
•  Jesus and His disciples were walking along the road to Jerusalem. When they came near to the town called Bethphage (Beth FUH jee), Jesus said to two of His disciples, “Go into the town. You will find a young donkey and its mother. Bring them to Me.”
•  The two disciples went to Bethphage and brought the donkeys to Jesus. The disciples spread their coats on the young donkey to make a soft place for Jesus to sit. Jesus climbed on the donkey. He began riding to Jerusalem.
•  Along the way, many people were waiting to see Jesus. Some 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, everyone was talking about Him. People asked, “Who is this man?” The crowds answered, “This is Jesus.”
•  When Jesus came to the temple, He healed the people who were blind and people who could not walk.
•  Children were in the temple, too. “Hosanna! Hosanna!” the children called to Jesus. He listened to the sound of their happy voices.
•  Some men were upset when they saw the things that Jesus did and heard the children praising Him. “Jesus,” they asked, “do you hear those children?”
•  “Yes,” Jesus answered. “Haven’t you read what the Bible says? God planned for children to praise Him.” Jesus knew the children were doing what God wanted them to do.

Bible Verse -  This is Jesus. Matthew 21:11
Bible Truth - People knew Jesus was special.
Life Application -  I can thank God for Jesus.
Your parent challenge this week is to talk with your child about the picture on the weekly take home page. Ask: “What is happening in this picture?” Read the Bible story from the page. Ask: “How can we thank God for Jesus?"(pray)  Say a prayer together, or lead your child to pray and thank God for Jesus.
