- Deeper exploration into Bible lesson truths
- Personal application for each group member

Our Approach to Small Groups
Our approach to this Small Group pack is not to lead you through a specific flow or sequence.
Rather, we have listed many suggestions and options from which you can select according to your format and situation.
Most likely there will not be time to do all the activities in one class. One approach is to choose one or two activities for a Sunday service.
Use the remaining activities to construct a midweek class combining review with further application.
Choose the options that fit your kids. The Bible Workout is geared more for older “readers” with deeper discussion and application.
Conversely, some of the drawing or art ideas are targeted for younger children
But, as we have said many times – kids are different, you know your kids better than anyone!
Your older kids may like the crafts and we have seen some pretty advanced readers in the first grade – go with what works for you and your kids!
Never hesitate to modify or tweak Bible activities, Bible games, or Bible studies to your particular kid’s ages, Bible skills or knowledge.
Use these ideas as a skeleton and foundation to create the perfect small group setting for your environment.
