As a team we began praying about the opportunity to write our own curriculum for our 2 and 3 year olds. We set the idea aside to see what God would do and he brought us Tiffany. She is a volunteer with a teaching background that has spent the last couple of years helping in this area by preparing material.
We began meeting every couple of weeks about two months ago. This morning we spent most of our time talking through the stories we would focus on and how they fit in God's One Big Story. Our conversation then turned to what happens from Sunday to Sunday.
We saw a great opportunity to develop material that parents could use to bridge the time between Sundays. We wrote down the following ideas about what that material might look like.
- Parent version of the lesson - so parents and kids are learning together
- Simple Bible verse
- Phrase that pays - Bible Truth
- Activities for families - simple, flexible and fit within average lifestyle
- link to other resources
I am excited about where God will take us through this process.
