This month we’ll be learning Who wants to be my best friend? Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
We’ll have a great month in GreenHouselearning about the story of the Triumphal Entry (Matthew 21:1-11), Easter Morning (Matthew 28:1-7), the Road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-17, 28-31), and the Great Comission (Matthew 28:16-20).
We’ll rock out to a new song calledILike To. It is sureto be a new favorite. You can download the song at www.amberskyrecords.com We’ll also be singing an old favorite Jesus Loves Everyone which is from the CD Reach Up High available for purchase at the ECM counter this month.
Our memory verse this month is, I am (point up) with you (open arms in front of you and point to a friend) always.(make a circlewith your arms) Matthew 28:20 (hold hands open like a book)

Today we discovered…..Who will help me? Jesus will help me!!!
We heard a great story about a man who was blind. With just a little mud, Jesus performed an amazing miracle and helped the man to see again. Jesus can do so many amazing things. And He can help me too! Our memory verse says, “He (point up) cares (wrap arms around self) for you.” (point at others) 1 Peter 5:7 (hold hands open like a Bible.)
To help us remember our story we made some cool seeing stars glasses and had a yummy snack that looked like 2 eyes. We also had some fun new music in greenhouse. One of ur songs is called Oh He loves Me. You can see us dancing to that cool song, below!
Singin' Oh Oh Oh, He Loves Me!
Parents, This week play a game of I Spy with my little Eye, with your child. After you’ve played a few rounds, remind yourchild that their story this week was about a blind man that Jesus healed. Then pray together and thank God for the eyes that He has given us to see all the wonderful things around us!

This month, we’ll be learning some of the parables that Jesus used to teach people about God.
Why did Jesus tell these stories? Jesus wants me to know what God is like.
This week during GreenHouse, the parable we learned about was called The Lost Sheep. We know that God loves us and cares for us just like a shepherd will care for his sheep. And we learned the shepherd cares for each sheep so much, that if one of them gets lost he will look and look until he finds it. To help us remember our story, we played lots of fun games, had a yummy snack mix (with marshmallows for sheep) and made fuzzy lamb pictures.
Our memory verse this month is “The Son (hold hand low like a little boy) wants to tell others (take both hands and make them move like they are talking) about the Father. (hold hand high like a tall man)” Luke 10:22 (hold hands out front like a Bible)
Parents, This week play a fun game of hide-n-seek with your child’s favorite stuffed animal. Take turns hiding it and finding it. When the game is over, tell your child that you love them so much that if they ever got lost, you would look and look and look until you found them. Remind them that God loves them so much just like you do!

Why did Jesus tell these stories? Jesus wants me to know what God is like!
Today we learned the story about Jesus teaching at the temple when He was just a young boy. We’ll be learning about some of the stories Jesus would tell (like the Lost Sheep, and the Prodigal Son.) Jesus would talk to all sorts of people about God because He wants everyone to know what God is like. Our Bible verse this month reminds us of that, “The Son wants to tell others about the Father.” Luke 10:22
At the beginningof our story, Jesus was lost and Mary and Joseph couldn’t find him. To remember this part of the story, we played a hide and seek game that was a lot of fun! We also had fun talking about our dads today. Jesus has a dad just like each of us have a dad. Jesus’ dad is God.
We had fun talking about our dads!
During our talk time, our question was, “What is one thing I know about God?” Our kids shared that God made the grass, God cares for us, God loves me, God is my friend, God is Jesus’ Father, God is BIG, and lots of other fun things they know about God. This month, as we explore the stories that Jesus told, we’ll learn even more about God.
Parents, our challenge for you this week is to talk each night at bedtime about the things you know about God. It might be fun to keep a list and add to each night. At the end of this week, count how many things you listed. God has revealed lots of things about himself to us. It might be fun for you to discover what things your child has already learned about God.

How do we know God loves us? God gave us Jesus!
This morning we finished the story of Jesus’ birth by learning about the wisemen who brought gifts to Jesus. To help us remember this story we played a fun game with flashlights and talked about the star that the wisemen followed.
We also played a fun game with gold coins because the wisemen brough gold, incense, and myrrh.
Memory Verse: “God (point up) loved (cross hands over heart) the world (make a world by circling hands) so much that he gave (extend arms in front) his only Son” (make a cradle with arms for a baby). John 3:16 (hold hands like a book
Parents: Now that Christmas is over, as you pack up the nativity set, review all the parts of the story with your child. Ask them what their favorite part of the story was. Remind your child that God loves them so much that He sent His only Son to earth as a baby! Say a prayer and thank God for giving us Jesus.

How do we know God loves us? God gave us Jesus!
Today we continued the Christmas story by talking about the angels message to the shepherds who were watching their sheep in the fields. The shepherds were so excited that they ran to Bethlehem to see baby Jesus! We were all excited today too! It was obvious from all the energy that Christmas is almost here.
Today we made sheep masks and dressed up like angels with halos and horns! We also had a special shepherd trail mix (marshmallow sheep and pretzel stick staffs) and played a few fun games.
Memory Verse: “God (point up) loved (cross hands over heart) the world (make a world by circling hands) so much that he gave (extend arms in front) his only Son” (make a cradle with arms for a baby). John 3:16 (hold hands like a book)
Parents: To help children keep their focus on Jesus, make Christmas Eve or Christmas extra festive by putting out a birthday cake (or cupcake) for Jesus. Light a candle, sing happy birthday to Jesus and let the kids blow out the birthday candle.
