Kids Korner: God gives us what we need (August 4th)

Read John 6:24-35 with your family. The Gospel of John can be a really hard book to read, and that’s why most children’s stories don’t include very much from this Gospel.

Kids Korner: Jesus comes home (July 7th)

Read Mark 6:1-13 with your family. It’s great when you have your friends and family and church support you, but not everyone has that experience. Jesus didn’t have that experience.
