Coming This Month in Sunday School
IN SEASON: A Series from The Old Testament on Psalms

SERIES OVERVIEW: Each season—fall, winter, spring, and summer—brings something unique and wonderful. From leaves changing colors to flowers blooming or animals hibernating, the changing seasons remind us that no matter what, God is with us through it all. In this 4-week series, kids will discover how we can respond to God in every season of life. They’ll learn that God’s words are always in season, God leads us in every season, God hears us no matter the season, and we can thank God for every season.
