Coming Soon 🔜 NEW for 2026

💡 Big Idea: God uses fierce, faithful women to protect, praise, speak wisdom, take risks of faith, and pass the faith on. He can grow those same virtues in all of us.

📖 Memory Verse: Proverbs 31:25 — “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.”

🔍 Theme Hook: Kids enter a cozy woodland “den” to hear the bible story. Use language like calling the kids “critters” and themed games that involve animals whenever possible. 

Kids hear mixed messages about strength and power.

This series shows that real strength is God’s love expressed through courageous moms and mentors—and that Jesus invites every child to live that way.

✝️ Gospel Connection: Jesus’ fierce love rescued us and brought us into God’s family. By His Spirit we can protect life, praise God, speak wise truth, trust His promises, and pass the faith on.
