Preschool: The Good Samaritan

January 11th, 2009

Question: Who loves me? Bottom Line: Jesus Loves Me!

Today we heard a story that Jesus told us in the Bible about the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37). There was a man who was hurt on the side of the road and 2 people chose NOT to be good friends, but one chose to be a good friend. To help us remember our story, we played with band aids and doctor kids, we made a crown of love, and we played a hopping game going down a band-aid path.

During our Talk Time we named a friend that we could help this week! Jesus said, “Love (cross arms over heart) each other (open arms and extend outward) as I (point up for Jesus) have loved you (hug self).” John 15:12 (open hands like a Bible.)

Parents, this week put together or upate your first aid kit at home. Let your child help you think of things it might need. If possible, take them to the store to pick out new band-aids for it. Show your child where the first aid kit is kept and remind them that it can be used when someone at home gets hurt. Jesus wants us to help others when they need it.
