Season Themes: Choosing God's Way / Work for God
Sessions 1-6: Choosing God's Way
These sessions begin with the ascension of Jesus to Heaven and the knowledge that with or without his presence, Jesus always loves us. Jesus chose God's way and so did his disciples. In order to learn about God's way, Children are encouraged to listen to when others tell about Jesus and to know that he cares about us, even when we're ill or in trouble. God's ways mean that we can show the love of Jesus, share it and learn together about him.
