Memory Verse:

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” Deuteronomy 6:5

Anger – We all get upset and angry sometimes, but kids will learn that we need to be slow to anger so our emotions don't get out of control. James 1:19-27, Listening And Doing.  

Fear – Most of the time we'll do whatever we can not to feel fear, but kids will learn that when we are afraid we can tell God what's scaring us and he will comfort us. Mark 4:35-41, Jesus Calms The Storm

Disgust – When we see things we don't like or understand we may feel disgust, but kids will learn that Jesus loves everyone – even those others find disgusting. Luke 17:11-19, Jesus Heals Ten Lepers

Sadness – No one likes to feel sad, but kids will learn that sadness can lead us to seek out Jesus, which is the best place we could ever go. John 11:17-44, Jesus Raises Lazarus From The Dead.

Each Lesson Includes:

• Make It Stick! Parent Sheet - so you can let mom and dad know what kids are learning each week and look like a rockstar teacher who's thought of everything.
• Memory Verse - so that you can make sure kids are getting Scripture in their minds and hearts every single week and you can feel like each lesson was a success even when it seems like 90% of your lesson time is spent saying things like "calm down", "let's be quiet", "hands to yourself!" 
• Skit or Puppet Show - so you have a way to easily connect the lesson with your hands-on and visual learners. No drama team? No problem! Just hand the script to the kids. They'll have a blast and think you're the coolest.
• Craft Activity - so you can give kids a physical reminder of the Bible lesson (and give yourself an activity to keep them busy until mom and dad come back!)
• Game - so kids don't leave and say church was BORING! Games are so important to help keep kids engaged. Our large group games always include a "What's The Point" section to help you connect the game to the lesson.
• Large Group Lesson - so you can present the Bible story in a clear and fun way, which means now you can enjoy Saturday nights instead of stressing over putting a lesson together!
• Small-Group Discussion - so you can find out who was paying attention and who was talking to their neighbor.  Just kidding, this is a great way for you to build deeper relationships with your kiddos after each lesson, which means you're going to care about them so much you'll cry like a baby when they graduate and go to middle school :(
