Our 2024 Adult Mission Study

Welcome Home: Adult Curriculum

Welcome Home is an adult curriculum that explores how we can know God as an intimate friend who welcomes us. Abiding in God’s safety and dwelling in God’s provision, allows us to open our hearts to a fuller embrace of the power and presence of God so that we may find our home in God. Participants are invited to dig deeper into what it means to live in the kin-dom of God and how this helps us to develop practices for building and existing in healthier communities.

Resources for Children and Youth

Me in the Kin-dom: A Children's Curriculum

Me in the Kin-dom! is a children’s curriculum that helps children explore the kin-dom of God through the lens of the Lord’s Prayer. Children will experience how they are unique members of God’s kin-dom and learn they are also part of a larger community that welcomes all of God’s children.

Children will explore many Scriptures that will help them to learn to see, hear, and love as Christ teaches. This enables us to accept each other as God created us to be. Each session includes Scripture study, discussion, music, artistic expression, and even some opportunities for children to participate in outreach to others.

Cultivating Symbiosis: The Nature of God’s Kin-dom. A Youth Curriculum

Cultivating Symbiosis: The Nature of God’s Kin-dom is a youth curriculum that uses the idea of symbiosis to explore relationships with others and with God. Youth will examine different kinds of relationships and understand them as an ongoing journey toward the kin-dom. There is a symbiosis between our relationships to each other as humans and our relationship to God. By drawing closer to one another, we can draw closer to the kin-dom. By drawing closer to one another, we can collectively move, step by step, toward creating God’s kin-dom on earth as it is in heaven..

Our Love Offering will be a Gift to Mission Giving through United Women in Faith / United Methodist Women.
