Preschool: Jesus helps Simon Peter Fish

February 11th, 2010

February 7

Sunday morning we learned a great fishing story!  Simon Peter was fishing all day, and wasn’t catching anything.  But when Jesus stepped in to help, his nets were so full of fish that they broke!  Is anything too hard for Jesus?  Jesus can do anything!!!  

It’s a great to have a friend who can do anything.  We can for Jesus’ help when we are faced with something hard too.  To hep us remember our story, we played a fishing game (and got a little wet) and made colorful fish. 

Parents: kids are faced with lots of hard things like riding a bike, cleaning up their room, tying their shoes, and remembering to brush their teeth.  When kids are faced with hard things they often get a case of “the whinies.”  When this happens, remind them that they have a friend who can do anything!  Jesus!  Stop right in that moment, and pray with your child that God will help them with whatever they are working on.  Teaching your child to turn to God during difficult times is a great lesson to hide in their heart.

Our Bible memory verse this month is “With God all things are possible.”  Matthew 19:26
