ELEMENTARY

Last Sunday the children learned that Jesus is the best friend they can have. We all search for that best friend that we can share everything with. Friends that are loyal, honest, selfless, and loving are hard to find. During your lifetime you may only be blessed with a few people like this, but of all the friends you will ever have, there is none that can offer you the kind of friendship that Jesus can offer. What is so awesome is that He wants to be our forever friend if we will just accept Him. He offers His love and friendship to all who believe in Him.

During the bible story we looked at Jesus' sacrifice for us from the Book of John. Our memory verse was John 15:13 "There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends." (NLT) Remember that if the children say their memory verses each Sunday during Pre-Service they will receive tickets that can be turned in for prizes.

Take time this week to learn more about our best friend Jesus.
*Jesus is loyal - Hebrews 13:5b NLT and Romans 8:31 NLT
*Jesus is honest & trustworthy - 2 Thessalonians 3:3 NLT & 2 Timothy 2:13 NLT
*Jesus is selfless - John 15:13 NLT
*Jesus is love - John 15:10 NLT and Romans 8:38-39 NLT

PRE-K AND TODDLERS

Last Sunday our Pre-K and Toddlers learned that they Should Learn About Jesus. The bible story told the children about Mary learning from Jesus (Luke 10:38-42). Take time and go over the handout that was sent home. This retells the bible story for the kids and it is never to early to share Jesus with your young children. I so enjoy watching them as we sing and talk about Jesus. They are little sponges ready to soak up what we are willing to teach them.
