FAMILY PLUS Preschool "Thirsty?" - September 12

Hi Parents and Grandparents!
 
Welcome (or welcome back for some of you) to our Preschool Family Plus emails. On your car ride home after church or at the family dinner table, do you ever ask your little ones, "What did you learn today?" Do you ever get this response "Nothing!" or "Jesus!" or maybe "All we did was play and eat goldfish!". These responses are very common from preschoolers.

Starting today I will be sending you an email every week letting you know what your Preschooler will be learning on the next Sunday. It will include the Bible story, Bible verse and a few questions. Also I will include any upcoming events that involve your preschooler. Hopefully equipping you with Sunday's lesson, your conversation will be a little different on the way home or at the family dinner table.

Sunday, September 15, 2013 your child will learn this story:
Jesus and the Woman at the Well - Based on John 4:1-30
Bible story brief:
Jesus and His helpers had walked a long time. They came to a town and stopped beside a well. Jesus’ helpers went into town to buy food. Jesus sat by the well to rest.
Before long a woman came to the well to get some water. Jesus asked, “Will you give Me a drink of water?” The woman was surprised that Jesus spoke to her.
Jesus told the woman about God’s love. Jesus wanted the woman to know how much God loved her. Jesus said, “I am God’s Son.”
Then Jesus’ helpers returned to the well. They were surprised to see Jesus talking to a woman.
The woman was so happy about the good news Jesus told her. She hurried into town to tell everyone what Jesus had said.
The people from town came to see Jesus. They wanted to talk with Jesus, too, and to learn more about God’s love.

Christ Focus: Jesus loves everyone.
Life Point: Jesus loves all people and so should we.
Life Verse: Love others as I have loved you. John 15:12

Question: How did Jesus show love for the woman?
Question: What is a way you can show love to another person?

Bringing the story home: Look around your neighborhood or school. Is there a person who needs a friend? Help your child to think of some ways to make friends with this new person.
Upcoming Events
  • October 27th - Family Fall Festival
  • November 27th - No Wednesday night activities
  • December 13th - Kids Night Out ages birth - 5th grade
If there is something that I can help you pray about with you or your family please let me know.

Thank you for allowing us to partner with you in guiding your child spiritually.
Bridget :)
