Every kid wants to be a Superhero. If we're honest, most adults wouldn't mind being one either. We want to be able to do amazing things! We want to wear cool costumes! We want a cape!
The truth is we can all be Superheroes. We don't need a cape. We don't need to leap buildings. We don't need to see through walls. What we need to do is be strong and courageous and trust God to help us do what needs to be done.
People around us are Superheroes every day. There is the single parent who works all day, comes home to make dinner, and spends the rest of the evening just bonding with her children. There is the older woman next door who always has cookies, a listening ear and boundless wisdom ready to share with whomever stops by. There is the dad working two or three jobs so that his children can benefit from a stay-at-home mom. All of those people are Superheroes, and there isn't a cape in sight.
We want our preschoolers to know that they can be Superheroes too. They can be strong and courageous as they trust in God. They can help those around them and do things for others. They can be Superheroes even without the cape too.
But, capes are fun and so are Superheroes, so for the month of October, we're going to be Superheroes! We are wanting the preschoolers (and you too, if you want) to wear a cape each week during the month of October. They'll be more excited than ever to get dressed for church.
Here are a couple of links to some easy to make capes. Or be creative and come up with your own!
I am looking forward to a great month and seeing so many Superheroes come to church each week! We will be teaching each month how preschoolers Can Always Count on God.
Check out our Facebook page for a vision video for the month of October. And remember to pick up a Small Talk sheet and help take what your preschooler is learning at church and bring it home!
