Activities

Bulletin Boards

Lessons
In the third lesson covering Psalm 23, the kids will learn that God's love will follow them all of the days of their lives and that only through Jesus will they be both contented and blessed.
With this lesson the children will have a good idea of what matters in life. The choice between material possessions or relationship will determine how they would want to live their lives, and hopefully, it will make them realize that a life full of materialism cannot fulfill an empty heart.
After completing this lesson, the children will learn that God does not like it when people grumble or complain. He wants us to be happy, and content.
