Kids Connect: May 2023

Preschool 3s, PreK, Kindergarten

When given the opportunity, preschoolers are ready and willing to help because it shows the world they are big and can do things that matter. Need help stirring in the kitchen? Preschoolers to the rescue! Need help carrying groceries? Preschoolers to the rescue! Need help entertaining a fussy baby? Preschoolers to the rescue!

Could it be that the real reason preschoolers want to help is that God made them to help? We think so! That is why we will be spending this month answering the question “Who made you to help?” God made me to help! That’s who! After all, God is the ultimate helper, and we are all made in God’s image.

Key Question: Who made you to help others?

Bottom Line: God made me to help others!

Memory Verse: “We have the Lord our God to help us.” 2 Chronicles 32:8, NLT

Grades 1-6

We might try to base our confidence on what we do well, or what someone might say about us. But true confidence should be built on something different. We think it’s found in understanding how God is both big enough to create the universe, but also close enough
to be right here with us. We know that we can trust God no matter what. We are crated in God’s image. And God loves us so much! Nowhere is this more evident than in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. And, when we trust Jesus with our life, the Holy Spirit is there to help us face whatever comes our way. We can respond to God’s love and care with confidence!

Virtue: Confidence is living like you believe God is with you.

Memory Verse: “So we say with confidence, 'the Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.”’ Hebrews 13:6a, NIV
