PRESCHOOL

April 20th

This month, we are talking to our preschoolers about days that are happy because Jesus is alive.  This week they see this when they learn about Easter and how it is the most important day of all time. Jesus came back just like He said He would and we celebrate because Jesus is alive!

Lead Their Growth: While on the go, look for things that are alive. Animals, plants, and people are a great place to start. Talk about how Jesus is alive forever and ever. (Revelation 1:18) That’s a long time!

Jesus lives!

Bible Story: John 20  (After Jesus dies on the cross, His body is placed in a tomb. Three days later His followers find the tomb empty and discover that Jesus is again alive!)

Main Point: Jesus lives!

Key Verse:  “I will spend time thinking about everything you have done. I will consider all your mighty acts.” —Psalm 77:12

Lead their Growth: Ask, “Why is it good news that Jesus lives?” Consider making resurrection rolls by wrapping a marshmallow in crescent tough and seeing how the marshmallow disappears when the roll is cooked, revealing an “empty tomb.”
