MD: KIDS CURRICULUM - SHAPED BY THE TRUE STORY
In January of 2020, Missio Dei: Peoria is reminding ourselves of the True Story, from creation to restoration, and how that shapes who we are. Week one is a reading of the True Story. This is the foundation of everything we believe. From there, we will look at how this True Story shapes us in Gospel Formation, Community, and Mission.
COMPONENTS
Each week will have the following components for your use with the kids. This is meant to be a resource. Please feel free to adapt as needed.
Big Idea: The main point of this week’s story, mainly for the teacher to have in front of them as they lead
Question: Ask kids a question to get them engaged and setup the big idea of the text
