Experiencing Emmanuel: United Women in Faith Children's Curriculum - Paperback

by Destiny McLurkin (Contribution by), Marissa Van Der Valk (Contribution by), Amy Beth Jones (Author)

Experiencing Emmanuel is a children's curriculum that helps children give voice to the sacred. Faith is a lifelong journey of seeking and naming the presence of God in our lives. Scripture shows us how God's people came to know God and each other and how those stories shaped their identity. As we interpret these stories, our sense of self and community is formed.

This curriculum invites children into that journey. Through exploring Scripture and shared experiences, children notice God's grace at work in everyday life. Guided by the Wesleyan quadrilateral-Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience-each session includes:

• Journals for reflection
• Retellings of sacred stories
• Testimonies from people of faith
• Shared, hands-on experiences

This curriculum offers a path for children and their mentors to explore faith together, building vocabulary, confidence, and a deeper awareness of God's presence in their lives.
