“Welcome, Friends!” Friend, January 2026, 1.

Welcome, Friends!

We’ve made some changes this year! Our Come, Follow Me section is now at the back of the magazine. (Go take a look!) We no longer have separate “For Older Kids” and “For Little Friends” sections, but all the same fun pages are still there, just spread throughout the magazine—for everyone.

And just like always, we have crafts, games, music, and stories of real kids like you following Jesus Christ. This year we’re also asking our readers to send in handprints and tell us how they served. Go to page 13 to learn more.

We’ll have lots of fun as we follow Jesus together this year!
