Story Time
As we explore God's love for us and our children, we focus our thoughts on different parts of the Bible each week.
All videos, stories, and resources are available to your family to supplement your Bible time. These activities have no timeline.
Understanding Story Time:
Each week includes an abridged story taken straight out of the NIV and EHV translation. Parents are encouraged to tell the story to their children before they begin any other work. The series will also include a story review activity, Bible passage review activities, weekly challenge prompt, and a list of activities that are based on the story. We chose this format because we believe that this help you get the most out of the story and time together.

Family Oriented
We racked our brains trying to find ways to reach every member of your family. We scratched the idea of trying to make lessons for every grade level, because we were afraid it would burn parents out. Instead, we wrote the stories with child friendly language, and as many notes and ideas for discussion for you to use. You know your children better than anybody. You might paraphrase and add details throughout the day or tell the story with toys and pictures. We are so happy that we get to aid you as you spend time with your children, and that the sweet Gospel message is in your homes. Our team hopes that your older children aren't discouraged, and that they can participate too. We're praying that parents and children alike can get the most out of this.
The activities, on the other hand, are a bit trickier to offer. We can't cut and prepare art materials for you, or make sure you have exactly 2 blue pipe cleaners, or (insert dream art project here). We can give your child ideas and open-ended prompts that will get them excited to learn the Gospel. If any materials are needed during a lesson, we will list them in the story section. Every home will experience this differently, and every project will be unique, but the simple and true Gospel will reach you just the same.

Resources
We will make sure to give credit where it is due. All of our stories and applications will be taken directly from the Bible, in it's truth and purity. Please pray for us as we relay these scriptural truths to you, because we certainly don't want to make a mistake. We are human and we are learning.
There will also be a fair amount of internet browsing as we look for new ideas and projects. They will be listed and linked accordingly. We are thankful that they are there for us to use.
