APRIL 2024
Have you ever been somewhere where it was so dark you couldn’t even see your hand in front of your face? No light shining under the door. No stars in the sky. No screen glaring back at you. Just darkness. So much darkness that you have to shuffle slowly, stumbling your way across the room with arms stretched out, hoping, searching . . . and then finally, with the flip of a switch, LIGHT! Light changes everything.
This month, we’re talking about light, but not just any light. We’re talking about Jesus—the light of the WORLD—and how when we do what Jesus says, we shine. We shine the light of Jesus! After this month, we hope every time you and your preschoolers see a lamp or a star-filled sky, you remember that people were made to shine, and we have Jesus—the light of the world—to show us how. So let’s not hide our light. Let’s SHINE and light up the dark so others can see their way to Jesus.

PRESCHOOL PARENT CUES
The weekly preschool Parent Cues found below are excellent resources for you to continue the conversation, started on Sunday, throughout the week at home. Designed to be implemented into the normal flow of your day, each week’s Parent Cue focuses on one of five areas: Morning Time, Car Time, Bath Time, Cuddle Time and Play Time.
At these times throughout your week, try out the Parent Cue’s suggestions for reinforcing what they were taught that Sunday at church. The consistent application they receive from you at home throughout the week will drive home the lesson they were taught as they just begin to get a first look at their heavenly Father.
