Greenwich Children's Lessons
Our Preschool Director, Jennifer Boyer has created a series of excellent Bible lessons to help kids engage with stories from Scripture. More content is added regularly throughout the school year.
This is a great resource for family devotions, kids who are unable to attend church programs, or anyone who wants to help children apply the Bible in practical ways that kids can understand.
We are memorizing & studying the New City Catechism, a great resource for understanding the essentials of the Christian faith using simple questions & answers. To learn more or join our Faith at Home mailing list, contact Associate Pastor Eric Beckman, ebeckman@greenwichpres.org.
Other Family Devotional Ideas
There are thousands of Bible Studies available in RightNow so we encourage you to explore what they have and find what works for your family. Here are two we are recommending as a starting point for Family Devotionals.
From the creator of Veggie Tales. Animated friends explain the entire Bible to your kids in a fast-paced and fun-filled series. Volume 8 contains TWO 25-minute episodes:
- Poems in the Bible? Learn about the Bible's poetry, the amazing story of Job, and Psalms- the Bible's song book!
- Wisdom from Above: Solomon shares his wisdom in the book of Proverbs, then Sunday School Lady finds the meaning in Ecclesiates and explains how the Song of Solomon- a book of love songs-ended up in the Bible!
