Let it Shine, Let it Shine, Let it Shine
A dark room can seem scary and make us feel alone. But you know what makes it better? A nightlight! Jesus tells us that he is the light of the world. When we become a friend of Jesus, he gives us his light. That not only makes our lives better, but we can then share how good Jesus is with our friends so he can make their lives better too! We can shine that light all over the world. In This Little Light 4-Week Preschool Ministry Curriculum, kids will learn, “I can shine with the light of Jesus.”
