Family Resources | Week of March 5th

This month preschoolers are learning that they can love like Jesus. This week they see this when they learn about how Jesus washed His friend’s feet. Jesus did this to show everyone who would follow Him how to love. When we put other people first and serve them, we love like Jesus loves.

Lead Their Growth: Cuddle with your child and pray: “God, Jesus showed us how to love by washing His disciples’ feet. I pray that [name of child] and I will be willing to love people the way Jesus does.”

This month elementary students are learning about forgiveness, which is deciding that someone who has wronged you doesn’t have to pay.  This week, we learned how a woman who made some big mistakes anointed Jesus’s feet with oil (Luke 7: 36-50). The main point was, “Everyone needs forgiveness.” 

Monthly Verse: “Put up with one another. Forgive one another if you are holding something against someone. Forgive, just as the Lord forgave you.” - Colossians 3:13 (NIrV)

Lead Their Growth: Ask your child, “What is forgiveness?”
