Memory Verse: “I have called you friends.” • John 15:15 NIV Key Question: Who wants to be your forever friend? Bottom Line: Jesus wants to be my forever friend. Hip, hip, hooray! We are kicking off a celebration that will last all month because Jesus is alive, and He wants to be our friend forever. All month long, preschoolers will be learning this verse from the Bible: “I have called you friends” (John 15:15 NIV). Jesus—the Son of God—loves us so much that He wants to be our friend forever! And that is definitely something to cheer about. Every preschooler needs to know that Jesus loves us so much that He died, came back to life, and is preparing a special place for us. As we celebrate Jesus, let’s remember to pray for preschoolers and their families. Pray that each child will know that Jesus calls them “friend.” Pray that parents and caregivers know that Jesus is always with them as they share the good news with their preschooler. Jesus loves us, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever! Hip, hip, hooray!
