Dear Family Text
Our Dwell group is an exciting place to be! Each week your child enjoys God’s Big Story, songs of praise, games and activities—and that’s just for starters! It’s a privilege for me to get to know your child and the others who join us each week.
We have just finished Old Testament stories from Joseph to Joshua and are about to begin a unit about God’s protection and care for the Israelites. The stories will include Rahab, Crossing the Jordan, the Fall of Jericho, Deborah and Jael, Gideon—and of course, Easter! We will also learn more about God’s protection and care for us because we are part of God’s great family too!
Each week your child will continue to bring home a Show and Share paper. It’s important to make sure this paper makes it out of the car and into your home. Inside it, you'll find a version of the story (perfect to use with your God’s Big Story cards set!), activities, and the location of the Memory Challenge text. Inviting your child to show and share the paper with you is a wonderful way to continue at home the conversation we’ve started at church.
Please pray with me that the Holy Spirit will use these materials, along with our leading (yours and mine) and our own examples of faith, to guide your child—and each child in this group—into a life of faith!
