KIDS/YOUTH Activities
Dear GCBC Parents:
Today’s resources can be used as a guide to helping your children and teens talk about what they have been thinking and feeling over these last several weeks of social restrictions. We have an amazing God in whom we can trust during these times, and we need to remind our children and teens (as well as ourselves!) of God’s amazing attributes.
Please feel free to message me if you need more resources or aids in helping talk to your kids about their faith. I am praying for all of us to take advantage of these times to have really good spiritual conversations with our kids!
God Bless,
Mandy
