River's Edge It's a Dog's Life Kids Church Curriculum

Sometimes it feels like we are living in a "dog eat dog" world. Our relationships tend to be more like dog fights than loyal friendships. In this unit, children will explore I Corinthians 13 and how to be the kind of friend that Christ intends us to be.

The lessons contain drama, puppets (optional), interactive Bible stories, fun applications, games, crafts, snack ideas, Bible memory activities and parent take home pages. A PowerPoint presentation is provided to complement each lesson (available in PC or DVD format).

The lessons are written in such a way that a teacher can pick and choose activities based on the length and structure of the class.
