DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

To be used during the activity time.

Teachers, take a glimpse into God's heart:

God loves children so much and never sees them as a nuisance or distraction. He wants us to have that same heart. Let's never send them away! Instead, let's gather them close to us and to bless them. God wants us to reflect His love for them.

God's deep desire is for us to share the depths of God's Word to His children. Remember Deuteronomy 6:4-9. Impress it on your children. The Lord wants His little children to build a strong foundation in their lives when they are young. We are asked to be a part of helping to build that foundation. May we help these little ones become passionate for His Word.
