Creation and Covenant

• 🌍 Creation and Covenant – We explore the Christian creation story and think about what it teaches us about God and the world.

• • 📖 Exploring the Bible – Children learn about key Bible stories and develop their understanding of how these stories connect with Christian beliefs.

  • 💭 Big questions – We encourage children to ask thoughtful questions about creation, God, people and our responsibility towards the world.

  • 🤝 Covenants and promises – Children discover what a covenant means and explore important promises made between God and His people.

  • ❤️ Making connections – We think about how these stories and beliefs can influence the way Christians live and care for others.

  • 🌱 Reflecting and responding – Children have opportunities to share their own thoughts, ideas and reflections as they develop their understanding.
