About Breathe It In
Breathe It In invites children in early childhood through grade 5 to discover the life-giving breath of God! Through Bible stories of breath and wind, children will explore how God's own breath was used to create people, and how the wind of the Spirit helped the young church to grow. As they participate in lively worship, music, Bible memory, and creative response activities, children will understand that God is the giver of life and is present with us.

About Breathe It In
Breathe It In is organized around five daily themes, adaptable to a traditional vacation Bible school program or to a 12-session midweek or club plan. Each theme introduces a new Bible story through worship, singing, and drama. After hearing the story, children participate in activities and responses to help them create deeper understandings and connections with the overall theme.
