Sunday April 18 preview

This week we want preschoolers to know that Jesus is my good friend! The Bible says in Proverbs 17:17: "A friend loves at all times," (our monthly verse). They will 'meet' a woman who loved Jesus so much she was willing to give Him her most precious possession and bathe His feet with her tears. Preschoolers will be challenged to think about who they love and make a special gift for those people. You don't want to miss it!

Many elementary students have figured out on their own that "friends come and friends go," but they need someone to teach them "a true friend sticks by you like family" (Proverbs 18:24, THE MESSAGE). They need to know what a true friend is all about. And there's no better friend (or model of a friend) than Jesus. This week's lesson tell about when Jesus makes breakfast on the beach for His fishing companions (John 21). We want kids to remember that a true friend will make time for you.
