TRUE STORY: A 5-Week Series from the Acts on the Early Church

SERIES OVERVIEW: Can you remember the last time you got lost in a really good book? The epic quests, daring escapes, and wild adventures make it hard to put down! While our lives might not include mythical creatures or fantastical lands, we’re all part of an incredible adventure—following God and helping others do the same. Each week, kids will explore the amazing and true stories about Jesus that show us what it means to live for God. In this 5-week series, kids will discover the true story of how Jesus is always with us, God helps us be righteous, God hears us when we pray, the Holy Spirit gives us power, and God helps us share the good news.
Kids in Worship

Whether we are worshiping at home or at church, or anywhere along our way, it can be challenging with young kids to keep them engaged. Elementary kids attend worship with their families the first Sunday of each month. To make children’s time in worship more meaningful check out these strategies. You may find them helpful too!

Additionally, here are a few book recommendations:

Resources: John wrote his Gospel account “so that [we] may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, and that by believing, [we] may have life in his name.” We'll be exploring this book together this month in our ministry, so we wanted to share this video with you for some more context to John's Gospel.
