May’s Preschool Update

MFirst Look Kangarooay’s Basic Truth: God made me.

May’s Focus Question and Bottom Line: Who can help others? I can help others!

May’s Memory Verse: “Be kind and loving to each other.” Ephesians 4:32

* * * * *

You have helping hands! I have helping hands! We all have helping hands. God made our hands to help others!

Preschoolers spend a lot of time surrounded by people who help them—their parents, their older siblings, their teachers. And, they love to learn all about community helpers like policemen, firemen and construction workers. They are just learning that they can help, too. There’s nothing sweeter than a little voice piping up, saying “I help!” when you’re unloading the dishwasher or doing the laundry.

This month, we are sharing three stories from the Bible where someone used their hands to help others. Preschoolers will learn how everyone helped each other in the early church. In the story of Nehemiah, they will see how we cannot only help others by doing but by leading them as well. And finally, they will hear how Aaron physically helps Moses hold up his arms. All these Bible characters used their hands to help someone in need.

Weekly Focuses and Bible Stories:

  • May 5:  We can help each other. • The Early Church Helped Each Other • Acts 2:42-47
  • May 12:  You can lead others to help. • Building a Wall • Nehemiah 1–6
  • May 19:  You can help even when it’s hard. • Aaron Helps Moses • Exodus 17:8-13
  • May 26: THE CHURCH HAS LEFT THE BUILDING – No Preschool Programming

Monthly Take Homes and Bible Stories:

Each month, parents receive a monthly parent newsletter that includes an overview of what children are learning in Sunday School.

Parents of children in Studios 1-4 receive a Parent Cue with inspiration and ideas specifically for parents of very young children. Click here to read this month’s Young Child Parent Time.

Parents of children from ages 2 through 5 receive a Parent Cue includes a summary of the month’s Bible stories as well as ideas of a how to talk to your children about God during the course of daily life. Click here to read this month’s Small Talk for parents of preschoolers.

April Preschool Update

AFirst Look Kangaroopril’s Basic Truth: Jesus wants to be my friend forever.

April’s Focus Question and Bottom Line: What does Jesus want me to do?  Jesus wants me to tell others about Him.

April’s Memory Verse: “Go and make disciples of all nations” Matthew 28:19

* * * * *

Jesus is alive. Wow! That news really shook up the world. It changed everything. In fact, you could call it “The Great Shakeup.”

Our Bottom Line this month is, “Jesus wants me to tell others about Him.” We’re starting the month sharing the Great Commission with our preschoolers. We want them to get excited about telling others about Jesus and how much He loves them. We’re encouraging preschoolers to, “Go tell everyone, everywhere about Jesus.”

Then, preschoolers will learn about men who did exactly what God asked of them. They went out and really shook things up. Our preschool friends will learn about Peter who shared about Jesus even when he was in jail. They’ll hear the story of Saul and how his life was changed and he became Paul. Finally, they’ll hear the story of Paul and Silas and how God really shook things up when they were in jail. All month long, preschoolers will discover how they, too, can shake things up by telling others about Jesus.

Weekly Focuses and Bible Stories:

  • April 7: Jesus wants to be everyone’s friend. • Great Commission • Matthew 28:19-20
  • April 14: God helps me tell others about Jesus. • Peter Put in Jail • Acts 12:1-17
  • April 21: Jesus helps me see the truth. • Paul/Saul • Acts 9:1-19
  • April 28: I can tell others about Jesus even when it’s hard.• Paul and Silas • Acts 16:16-34

Resolute

2013We have arrived at January – a brand new month in a brand new year.  As with so many new beginnings, many of us are working to make a fresh start.  Call them goals, call them resolutions, call them growth… whatever it is, many of us are finding new ways to improve the way we and our families live life.

As you consider your goals and resolutions for 2013, I hope you consider asking how you can work this year to improve your own spiritual health and that of your family.  When you look back over 2013, what do you hope to be able to say about your relationship with Christ?  I have heard of families with goals for many of the following:

  • Making regular Bible study a priority for parents and kids alike
  • Starting family faith talks once a week
  • More consistent attendance at church
  • Making missions a priority in family life

Within the Preschool Ministry here at Rolling Hills, I would like to do everything I can to support you and your family in 2013.  To that end, I am working to connect families with the same spiritual goals.  Let me know what you are working on, and I will work to get you connected to another family walking that same path.  We are built for community, and we all work better together, so I hope this will just be another layer to help insure that your 2013 resolutions come to pass.

If there is anything else I can do to support your family, resources I can provide, etc., please know I am always here.  Blessings to you all!
