Esther's Story ~ "For Just Such a Time as This"
The Writing Team has adapted five Esther lessons for at-home use (and for those with short classes due to pandemic restrictions). They include video clips and two cooking projects families can easily do at home. The opening lesson (open to everyone) includes families making a "grogger" to make some noise about their Haman-size problems.
Proverbs: Making Wise Choices
A great video clip introducing the importance of being wise and following God's wisdom. Includes questions and activities. The first of five Proverbs lessons is open to everyone.
Three "music video-driven" lessons for families with older children and youth.
We've chosen three GOOD and popular contemporary Christian songs with music-videos that speak to the issues and needs of the day -- and written short discussions around them. Each also includes a fun activity that older kids won't balk at. All three are open to everyone.
