The Word of God: Acts of the Apostles, Week 2
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.
During this unit we'll be looking into the book of Acts to see just what the first apostles did. Some of these things include the beginning of the church, some miracles, and even some serious persecution. We'll also learn that it was the early apostles that were first called Christians.
How's that memory verse coming along? This song might help!!

The Word of God: The Greatest Commandment, Week 5
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.
During this unit we will be looking at what Jesus says is the greatest commandment. It's easy to memorize, but not always so easy to do! We'll learn, in a variety of ways, how we can be intentional about loving God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.
Here are some books about some people who chose to love God with all they have and love people as they love themselves. These books make great read alouds for your family. Your older children will be able to read them on their own. These Christian heroes give encouragement to us today in order to live out what the Bible teaches us!
