The Alive in Jesus Sabbath School Curriculum seeks to equip parents, caregivers, and teachers to spiritually nurture a thriving relationship with Jesus and a love for His Word in the lives of children and youth.
Weekly Agenda for Toddlers (Playing Church)
30 Minutes of Fun and Learning- This is to prepare the child for Sabbath School. Each day a new agenda will appear. Use the Program Music for all of these songs. This will allow the children to practice these songs for Sabbath School. We have some exciting sensory activities for our upcoming Sabbath School for our Beginners!
