180: KIDS VERSION - The End of Time
We've come to the end of our journey together through God's Big Story. But it's not really the end! Our prayer is that families will keep learning together and growing together in faith! Talking about Heaven is a great place to start this week. Here are some ideas: Preschoolers: What do you want to do in Heaven? Who will you see there? How will you feel in Heaven? The Bible tells us there will be no crying, no hurts, no tears! Early Elementary: The Bible tells is that Jesus is preparing a place for us in Heaven, and that "In my Father's house there are many rooms." (John 14:2-4) Describe what you hope to see and do in Heaven! Older Elementary: How do you feel when you think about Heaven? What questions do you have? What do you hope for? What would it be like if time didn't matter and there was no sadness? Here are some more resources to help your family grow in faith together! • The Beginner's Gospel Story Bible (great for toddlers and preschoolers!)
