This week in Power Up, we learned about giving!  We learned about different ways we can give to others!

In Large Group, Button and Switch got the chance to go into the Candy Zone and collect as much candy as they could fit into their bags.  After leaving the Candy Zone, Button and Switch decided to share their candy with the Gatekeeper because he was not allowed to go into the Candy Zone.  Since Button and Switch decided to do what is right by giving their candy, the Gatekeeper gave them the Power Up Piece!  Button and Switch helped us learn I Will Give!

In Small Group, we read a story from Matthew 26:6-13, Mark 14:3-9, and John 12:1-8.  In this story, Mary brought some very expensive perfume to Jesus while He was eating with his disciples.  Mary poured this perfume on Jesus' feet and then washed His feet with her hair.  Jesus was thankful for the gift Mary gave because it showed Jesus how much she loved Him.  Mary understood what we need to know today, which is I Will Give!

To help your preschooler remember to give this week, here is a fun activity you can do!  Sing the following to the tune of “If You’re Happy and You Know It”.  Fill in the blanks with SMILE, HUG, HIGH-FIVE, WAVE, etc.:

If you love Jesus, give a ______!
