In Luke 15:11-24, preschoolers learned that God celebrates us when we follow Him. When a younger son demanded his inheritance from his father, he left home and wasted the money on foolish living. A famine struck the land, and the son decided to return home and beg his father to make him like one of the servants. The father saw him and ran to welcome him. The Father celebrated and threw a big party because his son, who was lost, had come home! Like the father in the story, God values and celebrates us when we follow Him. Celebrate your preschoolers every day this week by saying something you love and appreciate about them.

Take 1 day this week to highlight these 2 things and spend 3 minutes talking about them: Make a party hat or find a picture of one. Ask, “What do you think of when you see a party hat? Party hats are signs that it is time to celebrate and have fun. We can know that God celebrates us, too, because He loves us and made us with value.”

“For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son.” (John 3:16a)
Our world tends to put worth and value in what something or someone can do to help or make an impact. People who are raising children can attest to the fact that worth and value are not only found in what someone does but in who that person is. The same way you love your preschoolers just because they are yours, God loves, celebrates, and values you because you are His. Rest and rejoice in His love and care for you.

In Luke 15, Jesus told a story about a son who took his inheritance, left home, and wasted it. When the son was hungry and alone, he decided to return and beg his father to be like a servant. But while the son was still far away, his father ran to welcome him home. God loves us so much that He seeks us when we’re far away and welcomes us into a forever relationship with Him through Jesus. Celebrate your kids in big ways this week and remind them: God seeks and celebrates us because we are valuable to Him.

This week, take 1 day to ask these 2 questions and spend 3 minutes talking about them: What kinds of things make you feel like you are not valuable? How can knowing that God seeks you help when you feel like that?

“For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
Is your family a fan of hide-and-seek or scavenger hunts? It can be so fun to look for something, then celebrate when you find it. How incredible is it to know that God—the Creator of the universe—seeks you? No matter where you are or what you’ve done, you can know God’s love compels Him to seek you and invite you into a relationship with Him through Jesus. God sent Jesus because you are valuable to Him. Be encouraged!

Our goal is simple–volunteers show kids the love of Jesus! All volunteers are screened with thorough Federal background checks, so they are able to provide safety and spiritual guidance to your child. Plus, you can be a part of our talented Children’s Ministry!
