Water from a rock? A talking donkey? An impossible longing fulfilled? Food from almost nothing? In this series, kids will discover that, as God works on behalf of His people, He often works in unexpected ways to bring about His plans in His timing. He hears our prayers, His gifts are good, and His plans cannot be stopped. What will God do next? No one can possibly imagine. But it is possible for us to believe God can use anything to care for His people—even rocks and a donkey!
This month in Kid's Church we are continuing to explore the "old stories" in the Bible. We start off in a continuation of the life of Moses. Take a look below for a week by week breakdown and find links for devotionals you can do at home with your kids every week.
