During our Bible time this week, the toddlers learned that God cares when we are sleeping. We took a moment and read one of my favorite books, "Goodnight Moon" and the children got to hold a twinkling star as we sang "Twinkle Twinkle".
Each child should have taken home a yellow star to remind them of the lesson during the days to come.
This coming Sunday we will wrap up the unit learning that God cares for us all the time. We will use our Bible songs and an exciting activities to help the kids understand that God is always with them and cares for them.
Have a Great Week!

Sunday's Lesson
On August 17th we learned that God cares when we are playing. This is part of the series teaching the children that God cares for us always. The toddlers used their die-cut hands and decorated them with stickers that represented ways they play during the day: dolls, trucks, cars, dress-up etc.
At this age learning to share toys and playing nicely can be a big challenge for your child. Re-directing your child to more appropriate play behavior can be tedious but pays off in the long run. If you sometimes feel frustrated at how many times you have to redirect your child, there are some great resources in our ZPC libray. http://www.zpc.org/content/category/18/40/46/
So this week, take a moment and sit down on the floor with your child and just play, play, play and know that God cares when we play!
See you Sunday!

God Cares for Us!
Today our Bible lesson focused on waking up each morning and knowing that God cares for us. We talked about waking up and eating our breakfast, brushing our teeth and starting our day knowing that the Lord is with us always.
The month of August we will talk about different ways that God cares for us; when we wake up and start the day, when we are eating, playing and sleeping.
Parents are encouraged to find teachable moments when you can reinforce these concepts with your children. They learn so much faster when they hear the same message over and over.
Thanks everyone and have a great week!
