§ February: God is love; Children will lean that pure love comes only from God. The kind of love we are talking about is genuine compassion shown by Jesus.

§ March: Easter; Jesus is alive and new life is returning to the earth.

§ April: Love One Another; Jesus wants us to love one another. The children will also be learning that when they see the cross, we know that people who love Jesus are there. The cross reminds us that Jesus loves us.
