March 10th

This month preschoolers are learning that Jesus wants to be my friend forever. This week they see this when they learn about how Jesus formed His team of twelve disciples. Jesus chose to have the unexpected fishermen and tax collectors to be on His team and be His friends forever. Their job was to make sure everyone knew that Jesus wants to be their friend forever too.

Lead Their Growth: While on the go, play follow the leader— visiting a park, going to and from your car, around your yard, etc. Talk about how Jesus asked 12 people to follow Him, and they did! They became His friends, the disciples.

March W2: God has good news for the whole world! 

Bible Story: Jonah 1–4; Matthew 12, Jesus compares himself to Jonah 

Main Point: God has good news for the whole world! 

Monthly Verse: “He saved us by washing away our sins. We were born again. The Holy Spirit gave us new life.” —Titus 3:5b 

Lead their Growth: Ask, “How can you share God’s good news with the world?” Pick a country to learn more about as a family this week. You can read a kid-friendly article about it, print out pictures, or even pick a dish from that country to eat together! For at least this week, commit to praying specifically for the people in that country to experience God’s good news.
