In PICTURE PURPOSE, join the adventure of Kai and Lil’K as we discover HOW SPECIAL WE ARE TO GOD. How do we know we are special? We know because God has made each one of us unique in special ways. As always, Professor Sock will help us unravel the mystery of our Bible story. Test your memory with our lesson review KNOCK-KNOCK. Picture your preschoolers engaged, laughing, learning in a fresh new way as they discover how precious and special God has made each one of them. God has made us special and He did it on PURPOSE.
