What We Are Learning In Preschool :: May Week 5
May Overview: The Bible teaches us how to care for others. In the Bible, we see God’s people — and Jesus — showing care by praying, helping, forgiving, sharing, and inviting others. This month, preschoolers will learn we can care for others too!
Bible Story: The Shunammite Woman (2 Kings 4:8-37)
Main Point: I can care for others by inviting.
Memory Verse: “Be kind and compassionate to one another.” Ephesians 4:32a
As a family, read the Bible story together. Then, watch this week’s lesson video on the eKidz Online YouTube page to continue the conversation.
This week, children heard how the Shunammite woman invited Elisha into her home and cared for him. This story reminds us we can care for others by inviting people in and making them feel welcome.
💬 Family discussion questions:
What happened in the Bible story? (The woman invited Elisha into her home.)
How can we care for others? (By inviting them.)
🕰 Engage in everyday moments together this week:
When You Get Up: Say, “Good morning! Who can we invite to play or sit with today?”
While You’re At Home: Practice inviting someone to join a game or activity..
As You’re On The Way: Talk about ways to include others.
When You Lie Down: At bedtime, ask your child, “Who can you invite or include?” Then pray together, “Dear God, thank You for our friends and family. Help us include others and make people feel welcome. Show us how to care for others every day. We love You. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.”
