February Week 2

Birth – 4 year olds

VERSE FOR FEBRUARY

“Love each other as I have loved you.”

John 15:12, NIV

FAMILY DEVOTIONAL:

Zacchaeus hears that Jesus is coming so he climbs a tree to see Him.  Jesus shows Zacchaeus love even though he had done wrong things.

Read Luke 19:1-10

Car Time:  Ask the question, “Does Jesus love that person?” as you drive along.  When you spot a person in the care next to you or crossing the street or even as you enter the grocery store, ask your child, “Does Jesus love that person?”  The answer, of course, is YES!  Jesus loves everyone!

Play Time:  Make some homemade valentines for your friends and family.  Talk about how Jesus loves everyone, so that means we should love everyone too!  Giving valentines is a sweet way to say, “I love you!”

Kindergarten – 5th grade
