Preschool: Wiii Week 3

October 20th, 2009

October 18

This Sunday, just like the grown-ups, we learned about service.  We learned that we can love others by serving them.  What did Jesus say is important?  1. Love God.  2. Love Others.

Our story was from 2 Corinthians.  Paul wrote a letter to the church in Corinth asking them to share what they had with the church in Jerusalem.  The church in Jerusalem needed food and clothes. We can share what we have with others too.  We can share our things, our time, and our love.    To help us remember our story, we made pictures with food, we made a special snack together to share, and we sewed up a lacing card.

Parents, this is a great week to help your child focus on serving others.  There are lots of little ways that your child can help you, their siblings, neighbors and friends.  Sit down with your child and talk about the challenge.  Then help them come up a with a list of 5 things they could do for others.  Some great examples which might make the challenge more fun are:  make cookies and take them to a neighbor, surpise a sibling by cleaning up their room for them, leave a special note on daddy’s mirror, send a card to a grandparent, or help make dinner for the whole family.  

Be sure to practice this week’s memory verse together.  “Love (cross hands over your heart) the Lord (point up) and love (cross hands over your heart) your neighbor as yourself .” (point to those around you)  Matthew 22:37 & 39 (hold hands open like a Bible)    View this video to see how to practice the memory verse with your child.
