ANSWERING KIDS’ QUESTIONS ABOUT GOD
MARCH 28TH
5 PM
Have you ever had a computer tech, mechanic, or some other professional explain something to you and not understand a word they said? While the “Answering Kids’ Questions about God” class is designed to help you with some specific answers, it’s also about learning how to communicate in a way that makes sense to a child. All the right answers aren’t much use if we can’t explain them in a way that makes sense.
“When can I be baptized?”
“What do I do to be save?”
“How do you know God is real?”
And more…
This class is open to anyone – parents, Sunday School teachers, AWANA leaders, VBS volunteers, etc. and is scheduled for the Sunday before Easter – March 28th – at 5 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall.
