First Look: Infant to Pre-K
Community helpers show up and care for the people in their community, and when preschoolers learn about community helpers, they learn who they can ask for help. And when people help us, we can say, “Hats off! Thanks for caring so much.” We want preschoolers to know there is someone else who cares for us every day, but He doesn’t wear a hat to show us who He is. We can read story after story in the Bible where Jesus shows us that He cares for every single person—no matter who they are, what they’ve done, or where they’re from! We want every preschooler to know “How wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ” (Ephesians 3:18 NIV). Let’s pray for our preschoolers, that they will grow to love and admire Jesus more and more as we discover that Jesus cares about everyone. And join us this month as we say, “Hats off to Jesus!”
Key Question: Who does Jesus care about?
Bottom Line: Jesus cares about everyone!
Memory Verse: “How wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.” Ephesians 3:18, NIV

It’s May, and we’re nearing the end of God’s Big Story as we travel through the Bible in a year. But this month holds two incredible truths for kids in your ministry. First of all, we are, right now, living in God’s Big Story—the time between when Jesus returned to heaven, and when He will come back to earth again. And that’s the second amazing truth: that in the end, God will make everything right! We start off with Peter and Paul boldly facing the Sanhedrin, and then travel with Philip into the wilderness, where he meets an Ethiopian official with big questions. We watch Saul on the road to Damascus as his blindness helps him truly see, and we go on deck with Paul as he weathers a terrible storm at sea, followed by a shipwreck. We end with John’s vision of heaven, where God Himself will one day wipes the tears from our eyes and mend everything that’s broken. It’s a great time for kids to discover how we can follow in the footsteps of Peter and Paul and many others to share the Good News of Jesus. And no matter what challenges we face, we can always rely on the Holy Spirit to help.
Monthly Verse: “Let us not become tired of doing good. At the right time we will gather a crop if we don’t give up. Galatians 6:9 NIrV
