From The Pastor..


Before Christmas began, a few brave souls and I began a journey into a book study called “Growing Young: 6 Essential Strategies to Help Young People Discover and Love Your Church”, published by the Fuller Institute. While it was only 8 chapters long, it took us some time to digest all of it and ponder some of the things the authors suggest. On January 21, 2025, we finished our study and looked over everything we had learned.

LITTLE LIGHTS PRESCHOOL


The month of February brings thoughts of Valentine's Day and love. Our preschoolers will have a party, exchange valentines, and learn about God's love. Lessons about Zacchaeus will provide opportunities for them to give and receive love and kindness.

Zacchaeus was a dishonest tax collector who collected more taxes than were required and pocketed the surplus. The people of his town hated him. They couldn't believe it when Jesus said that he wanted to come to his house for dinner! But Jesus' unconditional love softened Zacchaeus' heart and changed his life. With this new feeling of love in his heart, Zacchaeus gave back more than 1/2 of his money to the people.

Preschoolers learn by example. We often see them treat others as they are treated. It's our responsibility to give children a loving, accepting example just as Jesus did. Show them kindness and love and they will treat others with this same kindness and love.

We will be working on the alphabet. We will do activities and have Show & Tell on the letters A,B,C,D,E,F,G and H.
