FCC Preschool Ministry

☀️ What a beautiful Sunday for Church on the Lawn!

It was so special to see our preschool families together, worshiping and enjoying time with our church family. Our beautiful campus gave us such a wonderful place to gather, and the gorgeous weather made the morning even sweeter! 🌳💛

The lawn is quiet again and everything is tucked away, but the sweet memories remain. Until next year, Church on the Lawn! ❤️

On Sunday, our preschoolers learned about Jonah and this truth: I can always talk to God. Parents, can you relate to Jonah? I can. Sometimes God nudges me to do something outside my comfort zone, like joining a group that would help me grow in my faith, sharing my faith, or reaching out to someone I find difficult to love. Sometimes I want to go the other way!

But even when we do, we can turn back to God. He hears us, helps us find our way, and gives us courage to follow where He is leading. That preschool truth is for us, too. 🙏🐳

🐳 Our FCC preschoolers learned about Jonah and how he chose not to listen when God told him to go to Nineveh. After Jonah was thrown overboard and swallowed by a big fish, he prayed and God heard him, even from inside the fish!

When Jonah came out of the fish, he chose to do the right thing and obey God by going to Nineveh.

Just like Jonah, we may make wrong choices or find ourselves in scary situations, but we can always talk to God when we’re afraid, when we’re sorry, or when we need help.

Our big truth this week was: I can always talk to God! 💙

Be sure to ask your preschooler about our parachute activity and where Jonah landed! 😊

We can’t wait to see our preschool friends tomorrow! 💛
There may be a few Goldfish at snack time 🐟… and a BIG fish in our Bible story! 😉
Tomorrow we’ll be learning about Jonah and discovering that we can listen to and follow God.
We’re looking forward to another sweet Sunday together learning, playing, and growing in God’s love!
See you tomorrow! 🐳

💛 A Little Encouragement for Parents 💛

Parenting is filled with moments when we don’t have all the answers. Some days are joyful, while others can feel overwhelming, but we never have to face them alone.

Just as Hagar discovered in our Bible story on Sunday, God sees us, He hears us, and He is with us.

Whatever is on your heart today, take a moment to talk to Him. Your prayers don’t have to be long or perfect. God hears the quiet prayers whispered in the middle of ordinary, busy days. 🙏🏻

This week, our preschoolers are remembering:

“God always hears me.” 💛

On Sunday, our preschoolers learned about Hagar and Ishmael. When they were alone in the desert and needed water, Hagar prayed and God heard her! He showed her the water they needed and lovingly cared for them.

Our children learned that no matter where they are, God is with them and He can always hear their prayers. ❤️

Ask your preschooler about our grocery store activity:

🛒 How easily can we get food and water when we need them?
💧 How did Hagar and Ishmael find water in the desert?
🙏 Who heard Hagar’s prayer and provided what they needed?

What a beautiful reminder for all of us: wherever we are and whatever we need, we can talk to God. God always hears us! 🙏🏻

Little hearts grow strong when faith becomes part of the family foundation. 💛 Bringing your children to church helps them learn that they are loved by God and surrounded by a church family that loves them too.
Your FCC Preschool family is excited to welcome you tomorrow! We can’t wait to see you! ⛪️💕

Preschool parenting can be wonderfully sweet and wonderfully tiring.
Faith is often formed in ordinary moments: a bedtime prayer, a Bible song in the car, or a hug after a long day.
You don't have to create perfect spiritual moments. Just keep pointing your little one toward the God who loves them and know that your FCC Preschool family is cheering you on! 🥰
