Parents, this month, our preschoolers are learning all about COURAGE.

Our scripture verse for October is Deuteronomy 31:6: “Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid.” All month long, we will learn about superheroes of the Bible. To mark this special occasion, our three and four-year-olds are making superhero capes. They will wear their capes home this weekend! Please encourage your child to wear their superhero cape to Faith Promise for the next four weekends. In addition, our two-year-olds will make superhero medals to wear home.

This weekend’s super hero of the Bible is Elijah. This weekend’s story is from 1 Kings 18:1-39. Elijah challenges King Ahab to a test to see whose God is real. They both build altars and pray for fire to come down from heaven. God proves He is the one true God, and all of the people worship Him!

As you prepare for the weekend, begin simple conversations with your child about courage. Be sure to point out that God gives us courage to do hard things.
