Children's Resources
Friendship
In our elementary ministry, kids learn that God loves them no matter what, they can put their trust in Jesus, and what they say and do matters.
All month long we are looking at friendship, using our words and actions to show others that we care. God made us for relationships and gave us the best example of friendship in Jesus.
