Here’s what we’re talking about this Sunday at Northwood…
Preschoolers are continuing to learn that Jesus wants to be their friend forever. This week children will hear about a time when Jesus told a story about a shepherd who lost a sheep from Luke 15:3-7. The shepherd loved that sheep so much that he went to find it right away. Jesus loves us that much too. He loves us more than anything! On the ride home Sunday, remind your preschooler about a time that she lost a favorite toy. Talk about how she felt when she realized the toy was gone. Ask her how she felt when she found the toy. Remind her that God loves her much more than she loves that toy. He loves her even more than Mommy and Daddy! God’s loves is absolutely amazing!
Elementary kids are going to the FAIR again this week as we continue our month-long virtue of fairness – making sure that everyone is treated respectfully (they may get a cotton candy surprise this week too). This week the Hairiest Man Alive pays us a visit at KidKraze! Kids will hear how they need to treat everyone fairly – even those who are different! The Hairiest Man Alive will help us understand what it’s like to be different and how we can react to those who are different than us. Sometime after Sunday, talk with your child about why it’s important to treat people who are different from you fairly. Talk about how everyone is not going to be our friend, but everyone is worthy of our respect!
It’s going to be another great week here at Northwood! Your child will not want to miss it!
