God’s Big Family
A five-part teaching resource for children’s church and Sunday school
God’s Big Family is a set of five engaging, interactive, fun session outlines for children’s church or Sunday school. It’s based around the idea that each one of us is child of God, and that therefore we are all brothers and sisters.
Aimed at children aged 7-11, the sessions will introduce the children to their church family in Iran, Colombia, North Korea, Nigeria, and Eritrea.
Each session outline includes two games, a short teaching outline with questions and a video, a craft, a prayer and a take-home resource.
God’s Big Family is a great resource for Sunday School workers, children and family workers, and could even be adapted for all-age services.
- Five ready-to-use session outlines for Sunday school or children’s church
- Each session has games, discussion questions, prayer activities, crafts and videos to watch
