I am in New Orleans with our high schoolers on a mission trip. I love being able to serve along side of them. We have great students and I am so proud of them all. But I am always ready to come back to see the preschoolers. I will be back at church on March 16th.
To help your child with our lesson this week about offerings - As your child completes simple chores, pay him or her a small amount in pennies. Help your him or her count out the pennies in groups of ten. Set aside one coin from each set and place in a container as an offering to take to church. Talk with your child about how God provides for us and we can give back to Him by giving an offering to help our church.
This week, Sunday, March 16, 2014, your child will hear this story:
The Widow’s Offering Based on Luke 21:1-4
One day Jesus was teaching His disciples and the people in the temple. Many people came to the temple to worship God. People would bring money to the temple as an offering.
Jesus watched the wealthy people drop their money into the special temple collection containers. It made a loud noise as it dropped into the collection container. He also saw a poor widow drop in two small coins. They hardly made any noise as they dropped into the container.
Jesus said, “This woman has given the most money of all. The wealthy people gave only the extra money they had. She gave all she had.”
Christ Focus: Jesus gave everything for us.
Life Point: We show love for God when we give.
Life Verse: Be happy when you give. 2 Corinthians 9:7
Questions: How much money did the woman give for her offering?
Why did Jesus say she gave the most?

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