"Are You Like Dorcas?" FAMILY PLUS Preschool - January 2

Hi Parents and Grandparents!

Starting this Sunday, January 5th, we have made some changes to our Child Check In Stations. The Plum Information Center has been transformed into our Child Check In Station for Babies - Fifth grade.

The stations are now located near the Worship Center and will be convenient for our Preschool Ministry and Children's Ministry. We will have four unassisted stations and two assisted stations. We are excited about this move and we think this will help with congestion and traffic in both the Preschool and Children's ministry.


This week, Sunday, January 5, 2014, your child will hear this story:

Peter and Dorcas Based on Acts 9:36-43
Story Brief:
A woman named Dorcas lived in the city of Joppa. She was a kind woman who helped many people. One day Dorcas became sick and died. Her friends washed her body and laid it on a bed in a room.
The men there heard that Peter was in a nearby city. They sent two men to find Peter and bring him back to help them. Peter went with the men to Joppa. When they got there, Peter went to the room where they had put Dorcas. The women showed Peter all the clothes that Dorcas had made for them. They were very sad that Dorcas had died.
Peter sent everyone out of the room. He knelt down beside the bed and prayed to God. Then Peter turned to Dorcas, took her hand, and said, “Dorcas, get up.” Dorcas opened her eyes, sat up, and looked at Peter. Peter helped Dorcas stand up. He called all the men and women to see that Dorcas was alive. Many people who heard about this began to believe in Jesus.


Christ Focus: Jesus helps us so we can serve Him.
Life Point: People who love Jesus help others.
Life Verse: Do what is good. Romans 2:10
