Pre-K Story Time with Sarah:: Episode 1 - Mary

This is age appropriate theology specifically written for Pre-K kids that is fun and engaging while learning about Jesus. At the end, you will hear Sarah ask a line that is intentionally said at the end of every kids lesson at Cascade, "using your skill of curiosity, what are some questions you have from the story?"  We hope this invites you to curiosity and wonder with your kiddo around the Christmas story.
