Hi Parents & Grandparents!

This information is typically for Sunday morning group time. Today, I want to include what we do on Wednesday nights. Wednesday, August 14th we will begin our a new series, "Show and Tell". In Show and Tell, preschoolers will learn that God is a Marvelous Maker! He made our world and every thing in it. We will join Professor Sock, Kai and Lil' K as they say, "Tada! Look what God Made!". I have been using this type of curriculum for a year now. The little ones love it. They learn and remember Bible Verses. So come on out and join us on Wednesday nights.

This Sunday, August 11, 2013, Your preschooler will hear this story -

A Church Helped Acts 11:27-30

Bible Story Brief -
• A prophet is a person who tells other people what God wants them to know. Some prophets left the church in Jerusalem and came to the church in Antioch. One of them was a man named Agabus.
• Agabus told the people in the church at Antioch that God wanted them to know there would be a famine in Jerusalem. The people in Antioch knew that Jerusalem was a large city with many people. Many people in Jerusalem loved Jesus. They were sad that the people in Jerusalem would not have enough food.
• The people in Antioch thought of how they could help the people during the famine. Each person brought as much as he could bring to help the people in Jerusalem. People who were poor brought small gifts of food and money. People who were wealthy brought large gifts. All the people in Antioch knew their gifts would help the hungry people in Jerusalem. They were happy to share their food and money.
• The people gave their gifts to their teachers, Barnabas and Saul. Barnabas and Saul took the many gifts to the people in the church in Jerusalem.

Life Application -  I can be a part of God’s work by giving.

Bible Truth - People show love by giving to others.

Bible Verse - God planned for us to do His work. Ephesians 2:10

FAMILY PLUS Preschool "Talk About Jesus" - August 1

Hi Parents & Grandparents!

We have two events that you don't want to miss. The first event is Illuminate, this Sunday, August 4th. In both services. The New Generations team will be sharing stories and outcomes from many of our 2013 events.
The second event is Back to School Bash, Wednesday, August 7th 5:45-7:45. We will have a blast rotating between inflatables, an illusionist, and food (includes hot dogs, chips and more). As always, your children will need to get their security sticker and meet in the regular classrooms to start the evening.

This week to help bring the story home, encourage your child to invite a friend to spend Saturday night at your house and attend church with you on Sunday. Explain to her that Jesus wants us to tell others about Him.

This Sunday, August 4, 2013, Your preschooler will hear this story -

Paul and Barnabas Told About Jesus   Acts 13:1-5,13-16,32-33,42-51; 14:1-3, 6-7, 21-28

Bible Story Brief -
• Paul and Barnabas were teaching in the church at Antioch. One day when Paul and Barnabas and other teachers were worshiping God, God told them all that He wanted Paul and Barnabas to travel to other towns to tell people about Jesus. The teachers prayed for Paul and Barnabas and sent them off to be missionaries.
• Paul and Barnabas traveled to many places and taught people about Jesus. In one town they went to a synagogue and heard someone read from the Bible scroll. Paul taught the men more about God and Jesus. The people invited them to come back the next week and teach more about Jesus.
• During the week, people followed Paul and Barnabas to learn more about Jesus. The next week a large crowd of people came to hear them teach at the synagogue. Some of the leaders did not want them to teach the people. They said unkind things about Paul and Barnabas.
• Paul and Barnabas said, “We will tell everyone about Jesus. God wants all people to know that He sent His Son, Jesus.” Some people were happy to hear about Jesus. They told others the good news about Jesus.
• Paul and Barnabas traveled to many towns. They helped many people learn about Jesus. They helped people begin to meet together in churches to learn more about Jesus. Later, they traveled back to Antioch and told the church about all of the people who had learned about Jesus.
