Wonder & Faith: 52 Creative Sunday School Lessons for Curious Kids - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

What if Sunday School became the part of the week kids couldn’t wait to get to?

Wonder & Faith is a full year of creative, Bible-centered Sunday School lessons designed for elementary-aged children—and for the pastors, teachers, volunteers, and children’s ministry leaders who want to make faith formation meaningful, memorable, and fun.

Drawing on more than twenty years of experience in children and youth ministry, Rev. Laura Steele builds each lesson around a simple philosophy:

Get them moving. Get them excited. Get them to open up and share.

Because children don’t experience faith sitting still and listening to adults talk. They learn through questions and conversation. They learn through movement, play, creativity, relationships, and wonder. And when children are engaged with their whole selves—body, mind, heart, and spirit—the stories of Scripture begin to become their stories, too.

Inside Wonder & Faith, you’ll find 52 ready-to-teach lessons that move through the seasons of the church and ministry year, from fall kickoff through Advent and Christmas, Lent and Easter, Pentecost, and summer discipleship.

Each lesson provides a flexible rhythm of gathering, Scripture and wonder, conversation, movement and play, creative response, prayer, and a take-home connection—giving leaders the structure they need while leaving plenty of room for children to ask questions, make discoveries, laugh, move, create, and encounter God.

These lessons began during Rev. Steele’s first year as Children, Youth, and Families Minister at Del Ray United Methodist Church in Alexandria, Virginia. She created them week by week for the children she served, continually adapting them as she discovered what helped kids engage, participate, and remember. She held onto those lessons for years—and now shares them with churches, teachers, and ministry leaders everywhere.

Whether you are an experienced children’s ministry professional or a volunteer wondering what on earth you’re going to teach this Sunday, Wonder & Faith gives you a year of ideas designed to help you walk into the room prepared—and help children walk out knowing that faith is something they can explore, experience, question, practice, and live.

52 Sundays. Countless questions. A lifetime of growing in grace.
