Dear Family,
Just a note to welcome you and your child as we begin a new education year. We’re looking forward to learn-ing more about God’s story and growing in faith together!
This year your child will be learning from the Imagine level of the Dwell curriculum. Each week we’ll begin our time together with prayer, praise, and a look at the new story symbol for that day. (You’ll find the same story symbol in your set of God’s Big Story cards. Use them to continue the learning at home!) The stories are presented in a way that encourages kids to respond to God (Jesus) with love, wonder, trust, obedience, and praise. We also encourage kids to live out what they’ve learned by sharing God’s story with others.
Every six weeks we’ll also be memorizing a different passage of Scripture together. To help kids learn the passage we won’t just be saying the words but will be singing them too! If you’d like to purchase the Scripture songs we’re using in class, visit www.faithaliveresources.org and order the Dwellsongs CD or visit www.dwell-curriculum.org and download individual songs.
Each week your child will be bringing home a Show and Share paper containing a version of the story, a note to you, the memory challenge, and other activities. You can use the paper to read the story that matches the story symbol card in your God’s Big Story cards. Invite your child to “show and share” what he or she has been learning!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Sincerely,
P.S. Another great site to check out for practical parenting tips, recommended resources, and more is www.nurturekidsfaith.org.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
His love endures forever.
—Psalm
136:1, NIV

Dear Family,
Today we talked about how we can trust God to take care of us and our families. One of the ways God cares for us is by providing food. We’d like to care for oth-ers in the same way. Please place a nonperishable food item(s) in this bag and have your child return it next week so that we can donate it to the food pantry.
Thanks!
