About the Bible Bake Off Thanksgiving Series

Bible Bake Off is a five-week Thanksgiving Sunday School curriculum for children's ministry. Each week is a new bake-off challenge built on a food story in Scripture: the widow's last meal (1 Kings 17), Elisha's poison-stew rescue (2 Kings 4), Abigail's food diplomacy (1 Samuel 25), Sarah baking for three surprise guests (Genesis 18), and the parable of the Great Banquet (Luke 14) — five Sundays that carry your ministry through November, Thanksgiving weekend included.

The full unit ships in two tracks — Kids (ages 6–12) and Preschool (ages 3–5) — and is available now. See the full series →
