FAMILY PLUS Preschool - August 3

Hi Parents and Grandparents,

We had a great turn out at the Taste and See event Wednesday night. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed the Back to School Bash. We had a blast with face painting, the Balloon Kid, bouncy houses, climbing wall, and their favorite bungee trampoline. We had 79 preschoolers. That is a lot of hot dogs. We saw lots of smiles and heard lots of giggles. It was a great way to start off our new school year.

 I want to remind you that this Sunday is promotion day. You should have received a postcard letting you know your child's room number for this year. If you have not received it we will be available to help you find their class on Sunday.

This Sunday, August 5, 2012, your preschooler will hear this story -
“Jesus Chose Helpers and Taught Them” Matthew 4:18-22; 9:35–10:10
Bible Story Brief -
• One day Jesus walked beside a big lake called the Sea of Galilee. He saw two brothers, Simon Peter and Andrew, fishing.
• “Come, follow Me,” Jesus said. “I want you to be My disciples.” Simon Peter and Andrew immediately stopped fishing and went with Jesus. Jesus saw two different brothers, James and John, working in their father’s boat. Jesus said, “Come, follow Me.” James and John stopped working and went with Jesus. Simon Peter, Andrew, James, and John became Jesus’ first disciples. They went with Jesus to help Him.
• Jesus traveled to all the towns and villages. He taught in the synagogues and preached the good news. Jesus healed people everywhere that He went. Great crowds followed Him and the disciples.
• Jesus chose twelve men to be His disciples—Simon Peter, Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, another James, Thaddaeus, Simon, and Judas. He told them to go make new disciples. He told them to heal people and tell everyone about God. They were not to take traveling bags. The people along the way would provide for them.
