Children’s Church

Theme: From Captivity to Restoration

The winter units explore three key questions: Where is God? Can God be trusted? How should we feel when we sin?
In addition to studying the verses, children play Bible Jeopardy, complete with prizes!

Unit 16: In Exile
God is in all places at all times and is always with His people. 

Session 1: Jeremiah Encouraged God’s People (Jeremiah 29-30)
Session 2: Daniel Was Faithful (Daniel 1)
Session 3: Daniel Served God (Daniel 5)
Session 4*: God is Present with Us (Isaiah 7)

Unit 17: The People Return
God cannot lie or ever be wrong, so we can trust whatever He has said.

Session 1: God Delivered His People (Ezra 1)
Session 2: Zechariah Gave Hope (Zechariah 13-14)
Session 3: The People Rebuilt the Temple (Ezra 2-6)

Unit 18: The People Prepare
When we sin, we should feel sorry that we have disobeyed God and want to turn from our sin because we love Him.

Session 2: Nehemiah Rebuilt the Walls (Nehemiah 1-7)
