What I learned today...(Curriculum Overview)

When I was younger my dad always asked my brother and me, "What did you learn today?" Unfortunately I think we often frustrated him when our answer was, "Nothing." He always followed up with a mini lecture on its important to learn something everyday. You can never stop learning!

We want to help you engage your children in the "what did you learn today" conversation by giving you a heads up on what they were taught in Sunday School, Children's Church, and KidzClub! We hope conversations about how much God loves them continue in the car, at the dinner table, and during bedtime stories.

So here is a little overview of what our Pre-School age children are being taught during Sunday School, Children's Worship, & KidzClub. (Don't worry 1st - 6th grades...we'll have your overview up next!)

KidzClub Curriculum for October
"I Praise God" Children will learn to praise God in song & prayer through Bible stories, making instruments to enjoy while singing and enjoying a special snack that helps them think about praising God.

Sunday School Curriculum
3's have just learned that God creates everything. Now they will be learning that God keeps His promises and cares for His people. They are seeing God's sovereignty in caring for Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, & Joseph.

4's & 5's are walking though Exodus to see how God prepares, protects and provides for His people.

Children's Church Curriculum
3's, 4's, & 5's are going through Genesis for the entire year. Mrs. Katie tells the Bible story and they enjoy singing hymns together. So far, we have sung "This is My Father's World" and "For the Beauty of the Earth".

We hope this helps you start conversations with your little ones about what they are learning. Maybe you'll get a better answer than "Nothing" like I gave my dad!

A word of encouragement....
Deuteronomy 11:18-19 says, “You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise."

Thanks for letting us teach your children weekly! It is a joy and privilege to see their knowledge of our Great God grow!
