This Month’s Unit Title Is: Maker’s Workshop
God is the ultimate craftsman. The universe is God’s workshop where He plans and molds life into existence. Decorate your space using woodworking tools.

Preschool Perspectives
This Month’s Leader Training Topic Is: Building Relationships with Kids.
Building relationships with preschoolers is essential for fostering emotional and social development. At this stage, kids are learning how to navigate their questions and feelings, interact with peers and understand the world around them. Establishing strong connections not only promotes a sense of belonging but also enhances their communication skills and ability to form friendships. Engage with preschoolers to create an environment that encourages them to explore, wonder, and ask questions about God and their faith.
Throughout the month, we’ll explore the following:
Week 1 – Hard Questions
Week 2 – Playing with Preschoolers
Week 3 – Accepting Help from Littles
Week 4 – Milestone Moments
Week 5 – Interruptions
Teaching Kids about the Gospel:
The Gospel is the good news. God wants everyone, even preschoolers, to know this good news.
Here’s the Gospel in four main words: God, Us, Jesus, Trust.
God
God is a loving God who is all-powerful and great. He knows and sees everything and rules over everything. God created all people in His image, and we are special to Him.
Us
But we have sinned, and our sin separates us from God. What is sin? Sin is anything we think, say or do that disobeys God.
Jesus
God loves us so much, He sent His one and only Son, Jesus. Jesus came to save us by dying on the cross for our sins. Jesus rose again three days later and is alive!
Trust
God gives salvation, rescuing us from our sin, to everyone who places their trust in Jesus as their Savior. What is trust? It means that we rely on what Jesus did.
