This year in FamilyQuest we'll be studying the word of God. We'll learn how it came to be, study some of the books of the Bible, and even study some of the bigger concepts found in the Bible.
In this 5-week unit we'll be studying the book of Psalms. This book, a collection of songs, has the most chapters of any books in the Bible. Many of the Psalms were written by King David, but there were many other authors, as well. Come join us each week as dig into a different Psalm.
There are a lot of chapters in the book of Psalms. Like 150. Seriously! But there is some good stuff there. There isn't really any other book in the Bible where the whole range of human emotions and thoughts is so clearly on display! Any thought you've ever had is probably recorded somewhere in those 150 chapters. Joy. Peace. Anger. Bitterness. Confusion. Gratefulness. Relief. Praise. Yep, those, and much more, are all there.
Because of that, this book can be overwhelming and might be hard to figure out how to teach to children. Here's a great website with LOTS of ideas. It's got ideas for everything from a prayer journal (which is so fun to start and keep them going and you'll all be able to see how much the Lord has grown and changed them through the years!) to some fun games and worksheets!
