KiDS Weekly Experience Guide & Parent Cue: week of February 21st
We love to provide you with resources to help you lead your families spiritually. Today, we have another YouVersion reading plan to do with your preschoolers. All month long, our preschool environments are learning about Jesus being tested in the desert and how he was able to say “No” to sin. THIS plan offers 6 days of short videos and questions to discuss with your preschoolers. This is a great way to review with your kids what they are learning about this month.
Beginning in March for our online families, we would like to offer a virtual small group experience for kids in Kindergarten-5th grade. Each Sunday, a small group leader will guide a small group of kids through some review and application of that week’s lesson through a zoom call. Don’t forget to sign your kids up for our online small groups by filling out THIS form.
Check out the resources below to lead your families this week! Thanks for partnering with us!
