God's Word
February's memory verse can be found in John 15:12.
Try these hand motions to help your child remember the words:
"Love each other (hug yourself and then point to people around you)
as I (point toward heaven)
have loved (hug yourself)
you (point to a someone in the room)."
John 15:12
*You can practice in the car, while giving a bath, before bed, etc. Repetition is the key
to embedding God's Word in their hearts. How exciting!!
Mission L.O.V.E.
As we learn about God’s love this month, here are a few ideas to use at home that not only reinforce our Mission Statement, but also encourage your child to LOVE like Jesus did!!
Love God
Thank God for 5 new things every time you pray
Do extra chores to earn money for tithe/offering
Love People
Draw a picture and give it to a teacher, babysitter, grandparent, etc.
Help a sibling clean their room
Pray for someone you don’t know--the mailman, the garbage collector, the neighbors
Reach the World
Collect a few cans and deliver to a food pantry
Collect loose coins around the house to give to the Missions Team
Curriculum Preview
Jesus loves everyone. He loves you and He loves me. He loves the lady down the street who never comes outside and the grumpy man at the grocery store, too. Jesus really does love everyone!
We want our preschoolers to know that simple truth, so this month children will hear the stories of how Jesus loved during His time on earth. They will also hear about how everyone needs Jesus and that we should tell others about Him.
Imagine how we would all act if we tucked the simple truth that Jesus loves everyone deep in our hearts.
Check out the special preview video below:
I am looking forward to another great month with your children and praising God for the opportunity to be a part of their lives.
