FAMILY PLUS Preschool "True Friends" - July 18

Hi Parents & Grandparents! 
 
Hello from New Orleans! I am serving along side of High Schoolers this week. Our mission here is to serve children in the St. Bernard Parish doing a Daycamp, Kidzdays in The Parish. At this camp we are able to share Christ's love to them. We would like for your to help by praying for our team this afternoon, we will be speaking to them about salvation.
We will be leaving Saturday morning. I love being with the High Schoolers but I do miss your preschoolers. I will see you Sunday. 

This week to bring our lesson to life, ask your child to name some friends he or she has. Talk about a way you could help a friend this week. Plan to carry out the suggestion. Emphasize that friends show love to one another by things they do 
 

This Sunday, July 21, 2013, Your preschooler will hear this story -
David and Jonathan 1 Samuel 14:49; 18:1-4; 20:1-42 
Bible Story Brief -
* A boy named David lived with his family and took care of his father's sheep. A boy named Jonathan lived in the palace; his father was King Saul.
* David played his harp well. Sometimes King Saul felt very sad. David's music made King Saul feel better. King Saul asked David to come live in the palace.
* Jonathan and David became best friends. Jonathan gave David gifts to show how much he loved him. Jonathan gave David his robe, his belt, a sword, and a bow for shooting arrows.
* Later, King Saul became angry and wanted to hurt David. David left the palace. David and Jonathan met to talk. David said, "King Saul wants to hurt me."
* Jonathan promised to help David. "I will find out what my father is planning to do," Jonathan said. "I will find out tomorrow, and I will tell you." Then David and Jonathan promised always to be friends.
* David hid in a field. Jonathan went to the palace and talked to King Saul. Jonathan learned that his father did want to hurt David. Jonathan was very sad. He knew that David would have to leave to be safe.
* The next day, Jonathan went to the field. He and David said good-bye to each other. Both friends were sad. "We have promised that we and our families will always be friends," Jonathan said. "God will help us remember our promise to love each other."   
Life Application -  I can choose to be a good, loving friend to others. 
Bible Truth -
God wants me to love my friends. 
Bible Verse - A friend loves at all times. Proverbs 17:17
