What is this unit about?
As opposition to the church grew, the church also grew. Just as Jesus had said it would, the church began in Jerusalem, had grown into Judea, and was about to expand into Samaria and toward the ends of the earth. First, God needed to help believers understand that as the church grew, they were one church united in Jesus.
Why is this important for our kids?
Without explicit teaching, experience tells kids that ‘church’ is the place/program they go to on Sundays. But the church Jesus saved us into is much bigger (and complex and beautiful) than just a program, it is a family of believers God has brought together to love, encourage, rebuke, grow and serve as His body. Let’s help kids see that they are part of this church already.
