Never Give Up! Family Plus Preschool

Hi Parent’s and Grandparents of Preschoolers,

Jesse Mckay will be helping me write a few of our Preschool Family Plus over the summer. Jesse has been Interning and serving with our team for almost six years. He doesn’t just intern over the summer.  He primarily serves with our Children’s MInistry all year long but can sometimes be found helping in any of our age level work. He has a huge servant’s heart. I am grateful that he sticks around with us. Here is his first Preschool - Family Plus communication. Enjoy!

 Doesn’t it feel great when someone helps us? I know that personally I am not a person to ask for help much. However, the reality is that at times I need help getting everything on my to do list done. I’m sure that all of you feel the same whether it be something at work or at home. This week in class your preschoolers will be learning about a time when Moses needed help. This story comes from Exodus 17:8-13. The Israelites were fighting a battle and God commanded Moses to hold his staff in the air to have the upper hand in the battle. As the battle went on, Moses was tired of holding his arms in the air and started to slip them down to rest. Whenever Moses lowered the staff, they started losing the battle. Aaron was Moses’ brother, and decided to help when he saw Moses was in need. Aaron and his friend Hur found a rock for Moses to sit on to rest, and each man helped Moses hold up one end of the staff so it would stay in the air.

Ephesians 4:32 tells us to “Be kind and loving to each other.” Even when it is inconvenient for us, sometimes we have to realize that God wants us to either ask for help or be free to help out other people. This is a way that we can show the love of Christ to others! This week, ask your children to find an opportunity to help out a friend or family member with something that they look like they could use a hand with. You never know when going out of your way for someone is really being Jesus in disguise!
