Lesson
Teachers will explore biblical truths from Scripture, explain the central truth and main verse, and help kids understand what they are memorizing and how they can apply God's Word to their lives.
Verses
Fun games and activities will help kids learn their memory verses. We encourage practicing at home so they're ready to recite their verses, earn points, and work toward prizes!
Small Group
Kids will be welcomed by their small group leader and spend time discussing the lesson, Scripture, and what God wants us to learn. Leaders stay with their group throughout the evening. Kids will also add stickers to their Trail Maps to track their progress!
Games
Fun, pre-planned games will follow each night's theme, giving kids a chance to build teamwork, enjoy friendly competition, and burn off some energy!
