This past Sunday, we learned how to get around the Bible!
The kids put bookmarks at the Index, Old Testament, New Testament, Gospel of Mark, and the passage we studied from Mark chapter 7.
We had three people read the dialogue between Jesus and the Pharisees. Then we talked about what rules are for and why they felt they needed to follow the rules more than listening to Jesus.
COMING UP - Bible Walkthrough!
Next week, we're going to start at the very beginning. Genesis chapter one, Creation.
We will be using ideas from Meredith Anne Miller. She knows about kids and she knows the Bible. Her book, Woven: Nurturing a Faith Your Kid Doesn’t Have to Heal From, is available where books are sold. I just started reading it, but have been following and learning from her Kids + Faith Substack for a long time!
The fun part is that there is a podcast called Ask Away that goes along with what we'll be learning in Little Church. Ask Away is a podcast where kids can ask anything about the Bible. Join Meredith Miller as she and her kids explore a Bible Story and then talk about questions sent in by kid-listeners!
There is an episode about Creation if you want to get a head start.
