March 11 –Jesus, Friend of Children
Building on Last Week: The sick man was helpless to come to the Lord on his own, as helpless as a child. Only when we come to the Lord as children, recognizing our helplessness without Him, can we be accepted.
Story Scripture: Matthew 19:13-15
Bible Verse: “We love because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:19

Friendship Bracelet
Make a simple bracelet to help your child remember that Jesus is their Friend. Buy solid color pony beads and mark letters with a permanent marker or you can buy pre-made alphabet pony beads. You will spell Jesus and your child’s name. You can string these on chenille wire or plastic string. You will want to place some decorative beads on the string, then your child’s name, some more decorative beads, then Jesus and finish with some final decorative beads.
