Dear Parents:

Blessings to all of you and your family! Welcome to The Story for Children! We are pleased and honored that your child is with us and going to be participating in The Story for Children Curriculum.

As you may know, this program has thirty-one lessons—thirty-one beautiful messages of God’s love and care for his children. Each lesson is designed so that your child will be made completely aware of God’s message in each one through the Bible verses, Bible Points, the stories, and various activities.

While we as a class explore God’s Word, we encourage you to extend that exploration to your home. Share your own love of His Word with your child, talk about what you are learning in your adult class, and allow your child time to freely talk about and ask questions about what is being learned. Be sure to encourage sharing the activity sheets or have your child tell you the Bible story that has been highlighted each week. Even allow them to tell you about some of the discussions that have taken place and continue them at dinner or family reflection time! Look for the chapter Parents’ Page. Read and do some of the activities that are part of the Parents’ Page sent home each week (some chapters are covered over multiple weeks and an eNews is sent on Sunday with the details about that Sunday's lesson focus).

This is a family experience. God is the all-loving Father; we are his children. As The Story unfolds for all of us here at The Church at Litchfield Park, share the experience with your child. We have been blessed with this incredible story! Let’s help make our children incredible and faith-filled storytellers.

God’s blessings,
