📝 FREE Week #1 Lesson Sample

In a world of constant noise, screens, and distractions, this summer series invites kids to "unplug" and discover how getting away from it all can bring us closer to God. Through powerful Bible stories of outdoor encounters with God, children will learn that sometimes we need to step away from everyday life to really experience His presence. Just like camping helps us appreciate nature by leaving behind our usual routines, these lessons show how finding quiet moments with God can transform our faith and our lives.

Main Idea: Get outside and get closer to God!

Bible Memory Verse: James 1:17

Gospel Connection: The ultimate way God made Himself known wasn't through a burning bush or shining mountaintop—it was through Jesus dying on a cross for our sins and rising again. Every miracle in this series points to the greatest truth: God loves us so much that He sent Jesus to make a way for us to have a forever relationship with Him, and when we trust in Jesus' sacrifice, God forgives our sins completely and welcomes us into His family.
