Preschoolers love trying to do things like grown-ups. They like to press buttons on computers and jump high to throw the basketball or stir the food to make something yummy to eat. Being able to say they can do things like Mommy or Daddy is a big deal! This month, we are teaching preschoolers something else they can do that’s a really big deal. They can love like Jesus! We want preschoolers to know that they can love like Jesus, and when they love like Jesus, it’s like tossing confetti everywhere! Serving others, showing kindness, helping and loving everyone—these are things that even our youngest children can do. And when they do, they love like Jesus.
Our Key Question:
WHO CAN LOVE LIKE JESUS?
I CAN LOVE LIKE JESUS!
In case you haven’t heard, Northpoint just dropped a new podcast made by dads for dads called The Upshot! This first episode includes stories of losing/forgetting kids (we’ve all been there right?? 😅), conversation around family values, and an encouragement to dads to pursue community. Give it a listen and share it with another dad who might like it!
This week’s Bible story focus is: I can love everyone like Jesus. Your kiddo will hear the story of Jesus choosing 12 men to be His disciples. As we get to know the different backgrounds and professions of those first 12, we quickly see that Jesus loves everyone, no matter what, and when we love everyone, we love like Jesus! What an encouraging message! Easter is almost here!! Check out this article with ideas for what to put in your kiddos Easter basket!
