Preschool Playhouse Teacher

The study of this quarter is primarily from the New Testament. Its three units follow the theme of worship as it pertains to a human response to God.
UNIT 1 • IN AWE OF GOD: The four lessons in this unit explore the amazing power of God in Hebrews, Matthew, and Luke. In Lesson 3, Luke’s account of the Christmas story recalls the praise and adulation expressed to God by both the angels and shepherds.
UNIT 2 • LEARNING TO PRAY: The four lessons in this unit look at prayer as found in Luke, John, Hebrews, and James.
UNIT 3 • STEWARDSHIP FOR LIFE: The four lessons in this study examine various aspects of stewardship from Matthew, Luke, and Ephesians.
