WHAT we’re teaching +
If you’ve ever gotten a little emotional during your favorite Disney or Pixar movie, you know animation is a powerful tool to not only tell big stories, but to make us feel big feelings, too! In this four-week series, we’ll look at some stories of the Old Testament prophets as we explore some of those feelings. These stories will remind kids that God cares about our big feelings. With God, we can all feel secure, comforted, valued, and loved, even when our emotions tell us otherwise.

+ PARENT TIP OF THE MONTH
As our world continues to move towards being more connected, it's becoming impossible to avoid negative, stressful, and scary news. This is a lot for any of us to process, but it can be especially hard for the kids we love. Avoiding bad news altogether isn't a realistic option, so how can we help them process difficult things?
Here’s a resource for you +
