Becoming the people God desires us to be isn’t always easy! We need nudged, corrected, and loved along the way! In March, kids will discover through the biblical accounts of creation, the fall, and the lives of Noah and Abraham what the Bible says about being holy.
Our key verse is Leviticus 9:12 . . . ”Be holy.” Through this series our goal is to help kids discover from the Bible how they can be shaped and set apart to be the person God wants them to be every day!
