Preschool: Teaching in the Temple

January 4th, 2010

This morning we learned a story about when Jesus was a little boy.  Did you know that Jesus got lost?     His parents didn’t know where He was!  When His parents finally found Him, He was at God’s House.  Makes sense, right?  Jesus was obeying God by spending time with Him.  Our big question this month is:  How can I love God?  I can love God like Jesus did!

Parents, at home this week, track down this story in your child’s Bible.  It’s found in Luke 2: 41-50.  Point out that Jesus’ mommy and daddy looked and looked for Him because they loved Him so much.  Play a game of hide-n seek in the house.  When you find your child, give them a big hug and say, “I love you and God loves you too.”  Play the game a few more times.  Always repeating, “I love you an God loves you too.”  It’s important to repeat these key Bible truths to your child so that they can be hidden deep in their hearts.

Be sure to practice your memory verse too.  “Love (cross hands over your heart) God (point up) with all your heart (draw a heart over your heart).  Matthew 22:37  (hold hands open like a Bible.)
