Preschool: Jesus Calls the Disciples

On Sunday morning, we learned that Jesus chose some special friends called disciples. He chose all different people to be his friends. He called to them, “Come Follow Me” and they did! Jesus wants us to follow Him too. We can show that we are following Jesus by loving others like Jesus does. Who does Jesus love? Jesus loves everyone!

This week, during snack time, our kids got to take an extra heart cookie home for someone they love. A simple gesture of sharing with others helps kids experience love first-hand. We also played follow the leader and used play dough to make heart shapes.

Parents, this month we have been focusing on showing love for everyone! When Jesus chose his friends, he chose people who were from all different backgrounds. Before bedtime, take some time out to help your child make a list of their favorite friends. Then pray with your child for each friend by name. Ask God to help your child show love for all of them through their actions.

Be sure to practice our memory verse. “Love (cross hands over heart) eachother (spread arms out) as I (point up for Jesus, because Jesus said this) have loved (cross hands over heart) you“(point out with both fingers). John 15:12 (hold hands open like a book) Have your child “show off” their memory by doing it on their own too. Be sure to give them lots of praise!
