Family Faith Sunday School lessons
Family Faith lessons are held the first Sunday of each month in a hybrid form. Join in-person or via Zoom while a teacher presents a Bible story, a lesson, and a craft or activity that you can do together as a family. On the other weeks of the month, we’ll share at-home lessons and activities that families can do together. If you’d like to be added to the list to receive these resources and reminders about upcoming teacher-led lessons, please email Desirae or Jen.
Summer Family Faith Series – Six Days of Creation
The story of creation: invites wonder at the majesty of God, affirms God’s love for us, and sparks gratitude for God’s precious gift of nature. Children (and their families) are invited to watch a short video story and lesson, create or complete the craft/activity (resources are downloadable), and learn about our beautiful planet (stories based on Genesis 1 and materials provided through Children’s Ministry via The Sunday School Store).
