| This Month in Children's Ministry | |
 Wonderland Babies and Preschool
It's the month of L-O-V-E. Love! So, let's celebrate it by showing our love to the one who loves us more than anyone! This month, we will teach our preschoolers to: "Love . . . God with all your heart," (Matthew 22:37, NIrV). And how do we love God with our all our hearts? Why, we look to Jesus to teach us. Through the month of February, Jesus will teach us how to love God. We can love God by doing what He wants us to do as He sat in the temple as a young boy of 12. We can love God by loving others, and we can love God by talking to Him through prayer. By sharing what Jesus taught us while He was here on earth, we pray that our preschoolers will begin to understand how to love their heavenly Father who loves them so very much.
 ECHO: (1st-6th grades)This February, we're taking on the Ultimate Challenge of showing the highest degree of HONOR. We'll be looking to David as a mentor and exploring his life in 1 and 2 Samuel, and we will define honor as "letting someone know you see how valuable they really are." Every person has value, not because of what they do, but because each and every person has been put together by God. When God created people, He made them in His image. That means every person alive today has been put together in the likeness of God. So every person has value. And it's our job to help everyone feel like they are valuable. This month, we're not only looking for ways to show others how valuable they really are, but also for opportunities to share publicly who God is, what He means to you and how He's shown up in your life. Who can argue with that?
