PRESCHOOL  While Jesus was on earth, He lived a life that very clearly said, “Everyone can be friends with Me!” While not everyone took Him up on His invitation, those that did were changed forever in the best way. That is why we are teaching preschoolers that no matter what kind of shoes we wear, everyone can be friends with Jesus. We can be friends with Jesus no how young or old. We can be friends with Jesus wherever we live and whatever language we speak. We can be friends with Jesus no matter how much money and education we have. There are no special requirements to be friends with Jesus. It’s a come as you are kind of friendship that lasts forever. Everyone can put on their shoes and follow Jesus. “’Come and follow me,’ Jesus said.” Matthew 4:19, NIrV ELEMENTARY  Elementary kids will be talking about cooperation in March. Cooperation is a spiritual concept that originates with God. God created us to work together in a community. Throughout the Bible, we see how God brought people together to accomplish something big for Him. When we work together, we reflect what Jesus envisioned for His followers. Our love for one another can point people to Him. “Two people are better than one. They can help each other in everything they do.” Ecclesiastes 4:9, NIrV  Save these upcoming events for ALL students: Middle School Bible Study FRIDAY 6:30-7:30pm Whirlyball + Laser Tag Student Family Night | Saturday, May 7, 2022 Middle School Bible Study The Middle School Bible Study continues Friday, March 18 from 6:30-7:30pm at Restoration and will meet every first and third Friday (April 1, May 6, 20, June 3, 17).
