This week In Preschool…

CNX Kids learned: ” Be Kind To Others!”

This Sunday Crew Chief Carl told us the story of Jesus putting back an ear: Jesus went out by himself to pray. He knew that it was almost time for Him to die on a cross. He prayed and asked God to help Him. As Jesus finished praying, an angry group of people showed up. They wanted to arrest Jesus and take Him away. This made Jesus’ friend Peter so mad! Peter wanted to protect Jesus from these angry men. So he pulled out his sword and cut off one of their ears!

Well, Jesus didn’t want Peter to do that. Jesus wanted Peter to be kind to others—even if they hurt you. So, Jesus said, “No more of this!” Jesus touched the servant’s hurt ear and healed him.  By doing this, Jesus taught Peter to BE KIND TO OTHERS!

In Elementary School…

CNX Kids learned: ” Love Is Not Rude!”

Today in CNX Kids, we met expert dirt bike racer Whitney Wheeler and learned how Jesus showed love by not being rude when he was arrested (Matthew 26:44-66; 27:11-31).  The Bible teaches us that Jesus let so many people be rude to Him because He was taking the punishment for the wrong things we do. In this story, He showed us how to love people when they are rude, but if someone is hurting us, Jesus wants us to ALWAYS ask for help. No matter what, we can love people like Jesus did by not being rude.

When we love others the way Jesus loves them, we are not rude to them!
