This Month’s Biblical Theme Is: Jesus loves
Throughout our stories this month, the love of Jesus shines bright. Jesus’ unconditional love reaches beyond all boundaries. Jesus knew the suffering ahead, yet His love compelled Him to move forward for our sake. Even in the pain of betrayal, Jesus remained faithful—His love never wavered. Through every act, Jesus showed us a love that is constant, sacrificial and beyond measure.

This Month’s Unit Title Is: The Great Love Race
Jesus races after us with relentless, unstoppable love. His love is not passive. It pursues, chases and overcomes every obstacle to reach our hearts. From the dusty roads of Galilee to the cross at Calvary, Jesus showed that love moves—it takes action, endures pain and never quits. Jesus ran the race all the way to the end for us.

Preschool Perspectives
This Month’s Leader Training Topic Is: Why Do Kids Misbehave?
When working with kids, we are often shocked by the behaviors they choose. Some are humorous, but many are frustrating, disrespectful and can be downright irritating. You might catch yourself wondering, “Why would you do that?” This month we will explore the “why” behind kids’ misbehavior.
Throughout the month, we’ll explore the following:
Week 1 – Unmet Needs
Week 2 – Unrealistic Expectations
Week 3 – Unaware of the Rules
Week 4 – A Little Too Comfortable
Week 5 – Kids Are Still Kids
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.
