TELLING GOD'S STORY

"The Cross and Resurrection" - Part 1

Watch the video and retell the story using the two gold bags of props. 

"The Cross and Resurrection" - Part 2

You don’t have to use the script; tell it in your own words. 

  • Toddlers can tell the story with rhyming cards 
  • Elementary-age children can tell the story with the story people and props 
  • Youth can tell the story using the comic strip 
  • Parents can use any of the above 

For teens

Watch as Steph Peterson leads you through the art of weaving. Each of you will respond with a work of art. The weaving looms are reusable so don’t throw them away.

For babies and toddlers

We have another fun rhyme to introduce your babies and toddlers to God’s Story. Watch this sweet video and practice it together.

VERSE OF THE MONTH

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Marriage & Family

Parents, watch the video with Dr. Russell Hall about your child’s temperament (18 minutes)
