Does Jesus want to be friends with the people at [name of place]? Of course! Jesus loves everyone, everywhere, and He wants to be their friend forever too!”

CUDDLE TIME

Cuddle with your child and pray: “God, thank You that no matter where a person lives, Jesus wants to be their friend forever.”

DRIVE TIME

While on the go, name different cities/ states/countries you’ve been to together. It could be a relative’s house, vacation spot, or a neighboring city on an errand. As you name these different places, talk about how Jesus loves all of the people everywhere we go, and Jesus wants to be their friend forever too!

BATH TIME

Add items your child can scoop and pour with to bath time (cups, beach toys, etc.). As your child scoops and pours, talk about how a woman went to a well to get some water.
