FAMILY PLUS Preschool - June 15

Hi Parents and Grandparents,


We had a blast this week at Summer Jam. The week went very well. A good time was had by all. I saw lots of smiles on children's faces. This week preschoolers learned that God loves them and will help them. The Bible verse for the week was “God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9. The lessons tie right into this weeks lesson with Nehemiah. When you pray, He will help you wherever you go.

Make sure you take a look at the save the dates below. You and your preschooler will not want to miss any of these exciting events.


This Sunday, June 17, 2012, your preschooler will hear this story -

Nehemiah Prayed  (Nehemiah 1:1-4; 2:1-8,17-18; 3; 6:15-16)
Bible Story Brief - 
• Nehemiah worked for the king of Babylon. One day, men came to see Nehemiah. Nehemiah asked about the people who lived in the city of Jerusalem. The men told Nehemiah, “The people in Jerusalem are in trouble. The wall around the city is broken down. The gates of the city have been burned.”
• Nehemiah was sad about the city and its walls. He cried. He prayed and asked God what he should do.
• The king asked Nehemiah why he was sad. Nehemiah answered, “The wall around the city of Jerusalem has been broken down. The gates have been burned.”
• The king asked, “What do you want?” Nehemiah prayed to God. He answered the
king, “Let me go to Jerusalem and rebuild the wall around the city.” Nehemiah asked for the king’s help in traveling to Jerusalem. The king said Nehemiah could go to Jerusalem. He gave Nehemiah letters so he could travel safely. The king gave him wood.
• Nehemiah traveled to Jerusalem. He gathered all the people and told them about rebuilding the wall. Many people worked on the wall and the gates. They placed the wood pieces in place. They repaired the wall. Everyone worked hard and did their best work. They worked for 52 days. Nehemiah and the people in Jerusalem knew God had helped them. God cared for them and kept them safe as they worked.
