LittleLIFE
A series on the early life of Jesus
People love camping, and for good reason! You can take in nature, practice special skills, or just take time to relax in a
new environment. And when it comes to camping, no one loved it as much as John the Baptist. In this series,
kids will hear about John the Baptist's special role in preparing the way for Jesus and his ministry.
John's story will help kids to say their camp motto,
"I believe God gives me purpose. I believe God can speak to me. I believe God is
powerful. I believe God's words are true."

KidLIFE
A series about the life of Jesus
Jesus grew up and developed like any other kid. But, He lived in complete obedience to God. From the moment He was born, He was fully God but also fully man. Even as a kid, Jesus was seeking God. We will learn in this series that we can grow in our relationship with God too. Jesus studied God’s Word, prayed, listened to wise teachers, and asked questions.
Because Jesus was fully human, He understands our temptations, He shows us mercy and grace and provides a way out.
Because He was fully God, Jesus was the perfect sacrifice and defeated death by rising from the dead.
While on Earth, Jesus performed many amazing miracles and forgave people of their sins. Because Jesus is the Son of God, He has the power to forgive sins and to heal. Jesus is the only way for us to be forgiven and made right with God.
Living God’s way is the best way, so the most loving thing we can do for our friends is help them know Jesus.

Our #1 Parenting Resource:
Parenting isn't the big moments, it's every moment.
- Every parent has 936 weeks of influence from the time their child is born until they graduate.
- Your child spends 1 hour per week at church and 167 hours per week away from church.
- Those can be a daunting numbers, but meaningful faith moments don't just happen at church. Meaningful faith moments with your family can fit seamlessly into the daily rhythm of your life.
- We want to join you in the journey of learning how to make faith a part of your daily routine by being a constant presence with your kids in Next Gen, by teaching them Gospel truths, and by equipping you to do the same the other 167 hours of the week!
