Hello Next Gen Families!

This month, our children will embark on an exciting journey back to the very beginning as we explore God's amazing creation! Together, we'll discover how God created the world with purpose, how much He loves us, and how we can honor Him through the choices we make every day.

Throughout this 4-week series, your child will learn:

🌍 Week 1: God Made the World and Everything in It

We'll discover how God created the heavens, the earth, and everything around us.

📖 Genesis 1:1–25, 2:1–3

👧🏾👦🏽 Week 2: We Are Made in God's Image

Kids will learn that every person is uniquely created by God and reflects His image.

📖 Genesis 1:26–31, 2:4–7

❤️ Week 3: God Made a Plan to Save Us

We'll explore the story of Adam and Eve and discover that even when people make mistakes, God already had a plan to rescue and restore us.

📖 Genesis 2:15–17, 3:1–15

⭐ Week 4: God Helps Us Make Good Choices

Through the story of Cain and Abel, children will learn the importance of choosing God's way.

📖 Genesis 4:2–16

📝 Memory Verse

"The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it."

— Psalm 24:1 (NIV)

As parents, we encourage you to continue these conversations at home by talking about God's creation, pointing out His handiwork in nature, and reminding your children that they were wonderfully made by Him.

Thank you for allowing us to partner with you as we continue fueling the faith of our children!
