Family Resources

God promised His people a land of their own. But the process of settling in Canaan would not be easy because the land was still inhabited by other people. In this series, kids will explore how God prepared the way for Israel to take over by making a safe passage for spies to enter, causing walls to crumble so the Israelites could conquer a city, and making the sun stand still to give His people an advantage during battle. God fulfilled His promise of providing a home for Israel because He can make a way through anything. He will always keep His word.

Dinner and Discipleship is a family resource to help you disciple your kids (teach them to know and love the Lord). Each pack comes with a few important pages to help you lead your kids all series long!

The main page has two main sections: "Wonder Together," which provides weekly topics and an activity connected to the Bible story from that Sunday (Similar to our Continue the Conversation" posts on social media!). The "Family Fun" section will have activities, prayers, and conversation starters for dinner time! When conversation runs low, or you need to redirect the topic, this is a great place to start!

Additional resources include a memory verse challenge, car conversations, and a family activity! Pick up your pack this week!

Every Sunday at Noon, we post ways to Continue the Conversation that we started at EC Kids that week. Your family can use these conversation starters on the way home, at lunch after church, or during the week!

Our mission at Eastland Kids is to partner with parents to build the foundations of faith. One way we partner with you is through a monthly newsletter!

On the first Monday of the month, each month, I will send out a newsletter highlighting upcoming events, sharing cool resources for kids and parents, inviting you to jump in on the conversation of what your kids are learning each week, and giving you some encouragement, because discipling kids is hard! 

This digital take-home page will help you answer two questions each week:
1. What did my kids learn on Sunday?
2. How can I keep the conversation going?

Scan the QR code next to your child's classroom, or check here for the take-home pages for the whole series! 

Helping your Child take their next steps of faith can be difficult when you are not sure what to say. The "Next Steps Resource for Kids" will provide a walkthrough guide to leading your child to Christ and how to take the step of faith to be baptized. 

Check out the "Bible 101 for Families" resource for information on what the Bible is, how it was created, and a step-by-step guide to teach your children how to use the Bible! 

Check out this list, which will help you easily find some of the best resources out there for discipling your kids that are Biblically accurate and age-appropriate.

As a church, we are doing a Bible reading plan together through our church wide Connection Journals! Inside will be daily reading prompts and space to journal your thoughts, prayers, and insights about the week's reading!

The weekly readings will follow along with the sermon series - but they aren’t just for adults! These journals are not only a great way to connect with other people at church, but a GREAT family resource for talking about the Bible together!
