Bay Life Kids - Preschool

Hello Preschool Families!

This past week, we ended our lesson on “Being Kind to Everyone” with an example of helping others from a special dog, a service dog! We can learn a lot about helping and loving others from a dog who spends his whole life helping someone, and has fun in the process! God wants us to help others no matter how young or small we are.

We love having your little blessings each week to teach them about God, but you are the most influential person in their life everyday. We can plant the seeds in their hearts on Sunday, 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 March…

Our bible verse theme for the month of March is Luke 11:28, “Hear the word of God and obey it.”   We are learning about how Jesus’ friends show love…serving, sharing and helping others, through these lessons:

• The Lame Man Walks (Acts 3:1-16), Jesus’ friends help a lame man walk.
• Barnabas Shares (Acts 4:32-37), Jesus’ friends helped others by sharing their money, food, clothing, etc.
• Food for the Widows (Acts 6:1-7), Jesus’ friends helped care for those that have no food. 

As an extension of our lessons this month, we will be participating in Feed The Bay. What better way to help those in need, like Jesus’ friends did, than to feed His people? God tells us to help others and Jesus’ friends show us how. Now that we know what God wants of us, we can “Hear the word of God and obey it”. Please have your child pick out some of their favorite foods from your pantry or go on a special shopping trip with you and have them bring the non-perishable food to Bay Life between March 17^th and March 25^th to feed FRED, the Bay Shark, in the Student Center Lobby. It is a fun way to involve your child in showing love and helping others. Remind them that they are helping others just like Jesus’ friends did!  Happy feeding!
