1st-4th grade 
Main Focus: Remember and Celebrate: God's Gift of Freedom
Festival of Jubilee

God commanded the Israelites to celebrate the year of Jubilee in every 50th year.  This festival proclaimed God's liberty and restoration, for in this year, all debts were forgiven and slaves and prisoners were set free.  God granted freedom to those who could not redeem themselves.  Today, Jesus is our Jubilee.  Through believing in Jesus, our sins are forgiven, our debts are set free. What an amazing gift we have in Him!

Memory Verse: "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.."  (1 Thessalonians 5:23)

Every quarter, our TRU children would participate in the game of ZONK! to help them remember what they've discovered during the past several weeks in the Big God Story.

May our children experience the freedom that only comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ.  May they walk daily in the joy that comes from that freedom.
