Hey, parents and kids,

Happy Summer! Summer is a great time for playing outside, having fun with your friends and learning more about Jesus, too! Maybe some of you have been to a Vacation Bible School, which is like going to Kids’ Church every day all week, where you have fun, do crafts, have great snacks, all while you learn about God!

Parents, each week this July, I’ll be featuring one of the great series we did over the past year. Why not spend some time with your kids learning about Jesus every day one week (or two!)? You can even invite other kids from your neighbourhood and have your own Vacation Bible School. And if you do that, I can almost guarantee that you will get the chance to help a child make the most important decision of their lives – and that is to ask Jesus to become their Lord.

This week we’re featuring the Miracles of Jesus in our series called Faith Works! Here are the links to each of seven lessons about the miracles Jesus did, and building the faith to see miracles too. What is faith? It’s believing what God says is true, and being sure He will do what He says.

In this series, you’ll need some pretty average household objects to have with you during the lesson. I’ve indicated those under each lesson as a “faith tool.” As well, I have a link to a craft poster for your kids to colour, decorate and put up on the wall for each lesson. It’ll be a great looking wall by the time you’re done!
