BAY LIFE KIDS

What’s cool in PRESCHOOL? Kindness!

 2 Timothy 2:24 is our bible verse theme for the month, “Be kind to everyone”.

As the new Preschool Coordinator at Bay Life Church, I am so excited to see all of your precious little ones each weekend! We love having your little blessings to teach them about God, but you are the most influential person in their life everyday. We may plant the seeds in their hearts at church, but they need you to help them grow and flourish throughout the week. Talk to your kids during the week about what they have learned at church and help them see practical ways to use the lessons each day. 
Here is a cheat sheet for February: We are learning about being kind. 

Last week, we learned about the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) that was kind to a stranger in need, as we covered everything in Band Aids.

This week, we learn about the Good Shepherd (Luke 15: 3-7) that went looking for his lost sheep. 

Next week, we will learn about the kind father that forgave his prodigal son (Luke 15:11-24). 

Our young children can learn about being kind to friends and family from the example Jesus demonstrates in his own teachings and actions. God wants us to be kind to everyone!  What a perfect time to show kindness to others. Teach your children that everyday is Valentine’s Day in God’s eyes. We should show love and kindness everyday in many ways….and chocolate is good everyday, too!! 

Happy Valentine’s Day everyday!
