Glad Heart Series for Ages 1-2 Quarter 3: Holy Spirit and Prayer

$25.00

The Glad Heart Series for ages 1-2 employs visual and tactile materials and songs set to familiar tunes to capture the attention of young children and teach them God’s Word.  The same material is presented each week for 13 weeks, as very young children need repetition and review to master new vocabulary words and ideas.  Craft templates and instructions are provided for creating a unique craft each week, which reinforces the objectives of the lesson.

 

Quarter 3: Holy Spirit and Prayer introduces children to the Third Person of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit’s roles are covered, and children will understand that they need Holy Spirit living inside them.  The lesson also begins teaching the value of praying Biblical, apostolic prayers, laying the foundation for dialogue and intimacy with God.  Children will develop a thirst to know Jesus more and a heart for the lost to be saved as they learn prayers from the Bible that they can sing and pray.
