A PEEK AHEAD FROM GRACEKIDS
Look ahead and see what's coming your child's way in GraceKids!
WELCOME
Dear GraceKids' families,
Happy New Year! We're excited to begin our "Who Is Jesus?" series this January, starting with Luke 2.
At 12 years old, Jesus amazed everyone with His wisdom during a visit to the temple in Jerusalem, saying, "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?" (Luke 2:49). This story shows Jesus’ deep understanding of His unique connection with God, even as a child.
As we begin this new year, let’s reflect on ways we can grow in faith together. We can’t wait to continue this journey with you in discovering more about Jesus!
Warm blessings,
Hortense Denny
Director of Family Ministry
Gracekids Preview
This winter, GraceKids will discover who Jesus is, His nature, and His heart for everyone.
January: Who is Jesus?
Jesus, the exact likeness of God, shows us what God is like. From His baptism to His miracles, we’ll see His divinity and humanity and understand Him as the Messiah. Knowing Jesus draws us closer to God.
February: The "I AMs" of Jesus
Jesus’ “I AM” statements reveal who He is and His purpose: “I am the bread of life,” “the way, truth, and life,” and more. This series helps us connect with Jesus as our life-giver and respond to Him with faith.
March: Walking with Jesus
Discover Jesus’ compassion, healing, and forgiveness. Learn how to follow Him by surrendering and worshiping—not just following rules—and embracing a personal relationship with Him.
