God knows me.

Jesus loves me.

The Holy Spirit leads me.

I am a child of God.

Each week we read/watch GOD’S BIG STORY.

GOD’S BIG STORY teaches us a new WONDER TRUTH.

The WONDER TRUTH points us back to THE WORD OF WONDER.

THE WORD OF WONDER is our unit memory verse.

What’s New!!

Hey Parents!  
We hope you're enjoying this resource.  
We have a few new things happening.

This past weekend we started giving out Pins on lanyards to each child that could find and tell the “leader in the silly hat” the word of wonder

We gave out 12 pins on our first weekend

How to earn a pin:

  1. Memorize verse for current unit
  2. Find leader in a silly hat
  3. Tell them the verse
  4. You cannot earn more than 1 pin per verse
  5. Save your pins for a SURPRISE

We will have a “leader in a silly hat” each weekend for the kids to find and tell the word of wonder to.

In order to help the kids keep their pins safe we have given them their first pin on a lanyard. They can add each new pin to their lanyard. Wear them to church, but don’t lose them. We will have a pin party this summer for those who have earned enough pins.

Keep in mind your child may only earn one pin per series.
