From the moment your preschooler arrives, he or she can be engaged in building with blocks, setting up a dollhouse, creating crafts, putting puzzles together, or playing catch! Our teaching style will put your child at ease and keep him or her actively engaged through large group story time and small group learning centers, designed especially with preschoolers in mind!

What Has My Child Learned
Today your child learned that Jesus gives us new life. Children heard how the women found an empty tomb on the first Easter. They made butterflies to celebrate the new life Jesus gives us.
Questions to Ask Your Child
Why was the tomb empty? What did the angel tell the women? How can our family celebrate the new life Jesus gives us?
Memory Verse - March 22nd:
"Believing in Jesus makes me a new person" (adapted from 2 Corinthians 5:17).

Life Point
God sent Jesus because he loves us.
Weekly Verse - March 29th
Hosanna! We praise Jesus! Mark 11:9
Jesus Entered Jerusalem
Jesus and his disciples (helpers) were on their way to Jerusalem. Jesus sent two of his disciples to the next village. He said, "You will find a donkey and her colt there. Untie them and bring them to me."
The disciples found the donkeys just like Jesus said and brought them to Jesus.
The disciples laid their coats on the donkey's back, then Jesus rode the donkey into Jerusalem, just like the prophet Zechariah said he would.
Many people saw Jesus riding into town. Some of them spread their coats on the road, and others cut leafy branches from trees and placed them on the road.
As they walked with him or stood and watched him ride by, the people shouted, "Hosanna! Hosanna! Blessed is he who come in the name of the Lord! Hosanna!
Some people in the crowd asked, "Who is this? Jesus' followers replied, "This is Jesus from Nazareth."
Based on Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11
Life Point
Jesus is alive!
Weekly Verse - April 5th
Jesus is alive. Matthew 28:7
Jesus is Alive!
Early in the morning, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb where Jesus was buried.
When she got to the tomb, she saw that the stone had been rolled away from the opening. Mary ran to find Peter and John, two of Jesus' disciples.
"They have taken Jesus from the tomb," Mary said. "We don't know where they have put him!"
Peter and John ran to the tomb. John looked inside. He saw strips of cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus' body. Peter went in the tomb and saw the strips of cloth, too.
Peter and John went away, but Mary stood outside the tomb crying. Mary bent over to look inside the tomb. She saw two angels sitting where Jesus' body had been.
"Why are you crying?" the angels asked.
"Someone took Jesus away. I don't know where he is," Mary said.
Mary turned around and saw a man standing nearby. "Why are you crying? Who is it your are looking for?" He asked.
Mary thought the man was the gardener. She said, "If you have taken Jesus away, please tell me where he is."
"Mary," the man said. Mary Magdalene realized the man was Jesus. Jesus said, "Go and tell my disciples that you have seen me."
Mary went to the disciples. She said, "I have seen Jesus!"
Based on John 20:1-18
