Kid Theology


KID THEOLOGY: THE STUDY OF GOD

noun (thē-ˈä-lə-jē)

Who is He? How do we connect with Him? What does He want from us? Sometimes we forget that kids are asking the same questions as adults. From birth we are hard-wired to seek God and understand who He is and we seek to fill that God-sized hole in our hearts. Make sure to have your ELEMENTARY student join us every week in January as we join Herlock Sholmes and Dr. Wohn Jatson as they seek to solve the mystery of knowing God.

Week 1 - Prayer

 

WEEK 1 PRAYER

noun (prer)

Talking with God about anything, anywhere. Does God even want to talk with me? Am I important enough for Him? Do I have to fold my hands and close my eyes? Are there any magic words that help get His attention? Talking to the creator of the universe can be intimidating and overwhelming but it wasn’t designed that way. God gave us prayer as an easy way for us to talk with Him about anything, anywhere.
