I like to use activities that make children aware of God's wonderful design as they explore their five senses. It's important to remind them that they are fearfully and wonderfully made. However, teaching the truths of Psalm 139:14 evokes important questions that we must address: How do we explain the truths of God's wonderful design to children with physical challenges and to those who are their friends? Can we celebrate the historical accounts of Jesus' miraculous healings

Regardless of whether they're in a thirty-minute Sunday school class or a week-long VBS program, we want our children to learn and remember messages of God's love and grace. Make every minute of your time with them count as you lead them on a journey to know and love their Creator God.
