PRESCHOOL PUPPET SHOW
Our Preschoolers learned the story in the Bible about Jesus loving the children with the help of their puppet friend, Sally and Miss Adrine. Sally felt sad about being a kid, but learned Jesus loves all children and they are very important in God’s Kingdom. Our students joined Sally in singing, “Jesus Loves Me” and had A LOT of laughs too!!
