RKIDS LESSONS
WHAT RKIDS (LITTLES, BIGS, & JUNIORS) ARE LEARNING THIS MONTH:
We'll begin with a short two-week series exploring the Book of Acts, which will then lead into age-appropriate lessons designed to align with our Churchwide Trellis Practice. To help your family dive deeper, we recommend you screenshot weeks 1-5. Each screenshot provides a Bible reading and family questions, making it easy to continue the lesson at home. Consider incorporating this into your weekly Sabbath practice or as a discussion point during weeknight dinners. We hope you enjoy these family-focused lessons!
