THIS MONTH IN MY FIRST LOOK
(Preschool small group Bible study, Sunday Morning at 9:30)
“God Loves Me” will be the central theme for September. All month, we'll learn about one of the greatest people in the Bible--David. David relied on God for his strength and success. We'll use David as an example to help preschoolers learn that I can do God loves me no matter what. Please use your Small Talk cards that your child receives each week at Sunday School to keep the learning going at home.
