MONTHLY OVERVIEW - MAY
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN PATIENCE AND GOD’S CHARACTER, AS SHOWN THROUGH GOD’S BIG STORY
Growing in faith is not something that happens by merely cramming more information about the Bible into a child’s brain. All of that knowledge in their head means nothing if we don’t help kids experience what that knowledge can do in their hearts. To fully experience faith, we want kids to practice their faith. And that takes commitment.
