Dive In! 4-Week Children’s Ministry Curriculum will take kids on an adventure through some of the Bible's most exciting water stories! We'll float with baby Moses, part the Red Sea with God's power, discover water in the desert, and cross the Jordan River on dry land. Each week, we'll learn how trusting God helps us navigate life's deep waters and come out swimming!

Main Idea: When life gets deep, trust in God keeps us afloat.
