WHAT WE ARE TEACHING IN JANUARY

"Camp Believe It"

A Teaching Series from the Gospels

on the Early Life of Jesus

People love camping, and for good reason! You can take in nature, practice special skills, or just take time to relax in a new environment. And when it comes to camping, no one loved it as much as John the Baptist. In this teaching series, kids will hear about John the Baptist's special role in preparing the way for Jesus and his ministry. John's story will help kids to say their camp motto, "I believe God gives me purpose. I believe God can speak to me. I believe God is powerful. I believe God's words are true."

  • GOD MADE ME FOR WORSHIP

    Understanding the different parts of a worship service can be confusing. One minute everyone is singing loudly, the next everyone is sitting and listening quietly. Sometimes the adults know something that should be said out loud like, “Thanks be to God!” How did they know what to say? What is communion all about? Why does the pastor raise his hands and pray at the end of the service?


    This bright and colorful children’s book celebrates how God reveals himself to his people in the movements of worship. All the parts of worship tell the story of the gospel, and since Jesus is the object of our worship, his story of redemption gives shape to our worship. The author of this book guides parents to help their kids understand why we’re intentional about worship, encouraging them to engage—not just to manage behavior during a worship gathering, and invites children to respond to God along with the whole church body.
