December 2022 OVERVIEW
Memory Verse:
"God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son." (John 3:16)
Key Question:
Why is Jesus special?
Bottom Line:
Jesus is God's Son.
Christmas is about celebrating the most special person . . . Jesus! Jesus is special because Jesus is God’s Son. We don’t have to buy him a gift, and we don’t have to wear fancy clothes to His birthday party. But we can celebrate Him.
So, let’s throw a pajama party to help our preschoolers celebrate and learn that Jesus is God’s Son. We want our preschoolers to know that God loved the world so much that He gave His Son, Jesus, to be our friend forever and to make a way for us to always be with Him. It’s our biggest hope that you will create such a memorable month for preschoolers that they will never forget that Jesus is special because Jesus is God’s Son.
