As we begin this new year please know that I am praying for your families. I look forward to the year ahead of us. The calendar is packed full of fun activities for your families.
Each Monday, in theory, I will post a new blog about what is happening in the Preschool Ministry. I will also include information about the week’s lesson and give upcoming events in the Houston area. If you have any questions please feel free to post a comment or e-mail me at kristin.wood@ubc.org.
Weekly Lesson: The Good Samaritan
Luke 10:25-37
I have heard “The Good Samaritan” story more than fifty times in my life, but as I read the story this week I was encouraged to think about the “hurt man”. I was challenged to think about my neighbors and family members who may be healthy, but emotionally hurt during this time. I took the time to write some cards to a couple of friends just to say I love you and I am praying for you.
I encourage your family to take the time to bless someone this week.
-Have your preschooler make a card for someone. Pray for that person with your child.
(If they are too young include their hand print or foot print.)
-Make cookies with your preschooler to share with someone hurting.
-As a family buy school supplies for a local charity organization.
