Hi Parents and Grandparents of Preschoolers!
The month of October we will be focusing on God is always there to help
us do big things. Some times us grown ups think that these preschool
lessons are just for preschoolers, we can not be more wrong. He’s there
to help us every step of the way too. Isn’t that awesome? It gets me
excited just thinking about it!
Remember when you were a kid and you
COULDN’T WAIT to be a grown-up? You were going to stay up late and eat
all the chocolate chip cookies you wanted. Well, you can do those things
now, but being a grown-up is more than that isn’t it? Being a grown-up
means you have to deal with some pretty big things. There’s the
mortgage, work, family and let’s not forget diapers. The cost of diapers
alone is enough to make you pull your hair out!
There are many, many big things we encounter as grown-ups, but we need
to remember that we’re not facing them alone. No! Right by our side is
the great, big God who made us.
This Sunday, October 5, 2014, your preschooler will learn that :
God helps Samuel find David, who is the new chosen king. 1 SAMUEL 16:1-13
MEMORY VERSE - “We have our Lord our God to help us.” 2 Chronicles 32:8, NLT
BASIC TRUTH - God loves me.
KEY QUESTION - Who helps you do big things?
BOTTOM LINE - God helps me do big things.

He Always Has What You Need - Family Plus PS
Hi Parents and Grandparents of Preschoolers!
Exodus 13 tells us the life of Moses. It gives a clear example of navigating through this difficult dilemma of Moses life. God had led the children of Israel to exactly where He wanted them to be. We know that God is constantly leading us day and night. This is a great story to remind us that God's got it! It is important to remember that God promises to always provide what we need in our journey.
Here is a fun activity that you can do with your preschooler to help with this week's story. Pour some bubble bath in the tub this week and pretend the bubbles are big, fluffy clouds. Show your child how to separate the bubbles into individual “clouds.” Count how many “clouds” you have. Talk about how God used one big cloud to show Moses the right way to go. God loved Moses and He loves you too! God has the power to show us the right way to go, just like He did for Moses.
This Sunday, September 21, 2014, your preschooler will learn that :
God uses fire and clouds to show Moses and the Israelites the right way to go. EXODUS 13:21-22

I Don't Have It. Do You Think You Do? - Family Plus PS
Hi Parents and Grandparents of Preschoolers!
Have you ever been in a situation where you’re thinking to yourself: I’ve so got this. No problem. It’s all under control. Then, out of the blue, one kid starts puking while the other throws himself on the ground over the fact that he wanted a Spiderman sticker and got Batman? Well, maybe nothing that extreme has happened (yet), but we’ve all been in situations that have spiraled completely out of our control.
What we forget is that we never really had control in the first place. God did. God does. God’s got it. The creator of the universe cares about you and me, and He’s got it. He has the power to be involved in every aspect of our lives. He loves us and wants to help us. Isn’t that cool? Even in the craziness called parenting, God’s got it.
Here is a fun activity that you can do with your preschooler to help with this week's story.
Go outside and see just how much power you and your preschooler I have! How fast can you run? How many push-ups can you do? How high can you jump? How long can you hang from the bar on the swing set? How high can you swing? Do you have enough power to climb a tree? Whew! The options for testing your power are endless, but there is an end to your power. Not with God’s power, though! Tell your child that God’s power is bigger than anything we could ever imagine and it NEVER runs out! God’s got it!
This Sunday, September 7, 2014, your preschooler will learn that :
Elijah prays to the one true God, to prove to the king, who has a fake idol, that God
is the only one who can answer prayers. 1 KINGS 18:1-39
MEMORY VERSE - “God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9, NLT
BASIC TRUTH - God made me. God loves me. Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
KEY QUESTION - Who’s got it?
BOTTOM LINE - God loves me.
