Preschool: Jesus Loves the Children

Key Question: Who loves me? Bottom Line: Jesus loves me.

Today we started a new set of stories all about Jesus. Our first story was about Jesus and the children found in our Bibles in Luke 18:15-17. In our story Jesus called children (just like us) over to be with Him. Those children were loud and silly and noisy (just like us) and he loved them!

To help us remember our story, we made puppets that look like us, made a friendship bracelet and played a few fun games like dance, dance, freeze! It’s fun to be silly!

During GreenHouse we had some fun new music. One of the songs was called Yabba Dabba and the other one was Jesus Loves Everyone! We had so much fun giving praise to God.

Our memory verse this month is something that Jesus said, “Love (cross hands over your heart) each other (open hands out) as I (point up) have loved you (wrap arms around self in a hug). John 15:12 (open hands like a book)

Parents, today we learned that Jesus loves us very much. Children need to hear that they are loved. This week look for extra opportunities to tell your child you love them. Then add, “Who else loves you? Yes, Jesus loves you!” Seek to create an environment in your home where saying I love you happens a lot!
