Preschool Bible Story • Week 1 of 5
May 3, 2026
At the end of some adventure stories, the leader leaves, and the team wonders how they'll go on. This week, we’ll see how Jesus’ followers felt the same way when he left for heaven, but he promised that his presence would stay with them through the Holy Spirit. His promise wasn’t just for them—it’s for us too, because true story—Jesus is always with us.
BIG IDEA: True story—Jesus is always with us.
