How Can I Love? Family Plus PS

Hi Parents and Grandparents of Preschoolers - 

This month, preschoolers are learning that they can love one another. Wow! What a hard concept for a little person! Or is it? What are we teaching preschoolers when we teach them to share? to take turns? to take care of those who are hurt? to help? to show affection? Aren’t we teaching them to love one another?
We’re teaching them, yes. But are we modeling it? Children learn more by observation than we ever realize (or want to admit). Do they see us loving one another as they watch us? Do they see us sharing? taking turns? caring for those around us? helping? loving? Do they see us loving one another?
Take advantage of a few opportunities this month to love one another with your preschooler. Deliver a meal to a sick friend. Send a card to a grandparent. Let the person with fewer groceries go in front of you in line. Whatever you do, know that you are a making a lasting impression on your preschooler, and he will learn to love one another, too.

This Sunday, March 1, 2015, your preschooler will learn that:
Jesus tells a story about a man who builds bigger barns to hold all of his extra food rather than sharing it with people who need it. Luke 12:16-21

MEMORY VERSE
 - Love one another. John 13:34
BASIC TRUTH -  Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
KEY QUESTION - How can I love?
BOTTOM LINE - I can love like Jesus.

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

Are You More Like Martha Or More Like Mary? Family Plus - Preschool

Hi Parents and Grandparents of Preschoolers -
This week's story is about Mary and Martha. I think about this particular Bible story a lot. I think it's important to sometimes be Mary and other times to be Martha. I love to serve Him and also love to sit and hear Him. My prayer for my own kids is for them to have a little bit of both in their life. Pray this simple prayer with your little one sometime this week  “Dear God, thank You for sending Jesus to be our friend forever. I hope (child’s name) takes time to listen and talk to Jesus every day. Nothing is more important than spending time with Him. You are so good, God. We love You. In Jesus name, amen.”

This Sunday, February 22, 2015, your preschooler will learn that:
Mary and Martha learn how important it is to spend time with Jesus when He comes to visit them. Luke 10:38-42

MEMORY VERSE
 -  How wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. Ephesians 3:18
BASIC TRUTH -  Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
KEY QUESTION - Who loves you?
BOTTOM LINE - Jesus loves me.

Love! Family Plus - Preschool

Hi Parents and Grandparents of Preschoolers -
Every month we have a new Bible verse that we try to memorize. In Wee Worship we go over every verse that they have learned in the past  months. I am always amazed when I ask them to tell me November's, December's, January's or this month's verse. This month's verse is a little more difficult to remember. Even the three year olds are always so eager to try. Please ask your preschooler to try to tell you the Bible verses. Usually if you tell them the first word or sometimes just the letter they will recite it for you.
November - I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart. Psalm 111:1
December - God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son. John 3:16
January - You are everything I need. Psalm 119:57
February - How wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. Ephesians 3:18
I love seeing them each week in Wee Worship. I am always so very proud of them learning these verses and participating in worship every week. I know you are too.


This Sunday, February 15, 2015, your preschooler will learn that:
Jesus helps a Centurion by healing his sick friend. Matthew 8:5-13

MEMORY VERSE
 -  How wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. Ephesians 3:18
BASIC TRUTH -  Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
KEY QUESTION - Who loves you?
BOTTOM LINE - Jesus loves me.
