FAMILY PLUS Preschool - August 24

Hi Parents and Grandparents,

I hope that you got to spend some time with your family at the fair this past week. I had a wonderful time at Go Worship! I was very happy to see everyone.

I hope everyone is enjoying their new classes on Sunday mornings. I love seeing them in their new rooms and making new friends in Christ. I want to tell you about our Wednesday night classes that we offer for your preschooler. We just started a five week series called "Big". It is about how we should love, listen, help, thank, and share BIG. In BIG, your preschooler will learn that even though they are small, they can do big things with God's help! In fact, they can do all things through Christ, because He gives them strength. I hope to see your preschooler next Wednesday.

This Sunday, August 26, 2012, your preschooler will hear this story -

Jesus Taught Us to Remember Him (Matthew 26:17-30; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
Bible Story Brief -
• Jesus wanted His disciples to remember Him. He planned to eat a special meal with His disciples and tell them special things to do that would help them remember Him.
• Jesus’ disciples came to Him and asked, “Where are we going to eat our special Passover meal?”
• Jesus answered, “Go into the city. You will find a man. Say to him, ‘Jesus will eat the Passover meal at your house with His disciples.’”
• The disciples did what Jesus said and found the man. They prepared the Passover meal, making sure everything was ready.
• Jesus and His disciples stretched out on the floor around a low table. Jesus took the bread and thanked God. He tore the bread into pieces and gave some to each disciple. Jesus said, “Take this bread and eat it. Eat this bread and remember Me.” Jesus took a cup and thanked God. Jesus passed the cup to the disciples and said, “Drink from this cup; I want you to remember what I have done. Remember Me when I am not with you. Remember Me every time you eat a meal like this. Remember how much I love you. Remember Me.”
• Jesus and His disciples ate the Passover meal together. After the meal, they sang songs together. They left the room together, going out to a place to pray.

Bible Verse - Jesus said,“Remember Me.” 1 Corinthians 11:24
Life Application - I can remember things Jesus did.

Your parent challenge this week - Look at the weekly take home sheets for this past month. Talk about each story. Make a list with your child of things we can remember about Jesus. (He taught His disciples; He taught about being kind; He healed and helped people; He loves all people; Children are important to Him; He wants us to remember Him.)
