We’re starting a new series on families
​in the Bible called The Messengers

A 3-WEEK SERIES FROM THE EARLY CHURCH 
How many ways can you send a message? There are so many unique ways! Special deliveries are the best but even better are the messages found in each package. This month, we are going to look at the most important message that was ever sent out and how we are meant to be the ones delivering it. Kids are God’s messengers that can share the stories of God’s miracles and help. Get kids involved in helping God’s message go everywhere because God delivers everyone!
