Series Description
God made me. God loves me. And God has plans for me. That is the foundation we want to begin to construct and create for our preschoolers this month. We want them to grow up knowing God has plans for them that include good things for them to do. We want them to know they can trust God’s plans and that His plans are always best. And just like we can wait for birthdays and Christmas, we can wait on God’s plans too!
Each of our preschoolers are building their own story with their lives. It is our hope and prayer that they will choose to build it with God by trusting that His plans are best. With God, we know they will construct and create a story that will leave a legacy of faith for generations to come.

Josiah was very young when he became king. As king, Josiah kept the people safe and helped them know the right things to do.

When King Josiah heard God’s words, he called all the people together so they could hear God’s words too!
