Here at BTC Kids we know that when families can talk about what we are learning on a Sunday morning it makes all the difference! Our team is committed to walking with families to help our younger members connect with God's word and see change in their daily lives.

As England remains in lockdown 3, we continue with BTC Kids Online, which will feature a short Bible video presented by a member of our team every week. Please visit back here every Sunday for the link to the next teaching session.

With the added pressure on parents who are currently supervising online learning while schools are shut, we don't want anyone to feel that Sunday is another school day! But we do know that children learn so much when their parents and carers share their faith, the things God is doing and has done in their lives, and testimonies from their own journey. So we hope that our current series will give lots of opportunities for easy conversations about Jesus as your family gathers together.

At the moment we are looking at our series all about people who had life changing encounters with Jesus, to help us realise how much impact Jesus can have and wants to have on our lives, if we let him! At the end of each of our BTC Kids Online videos our leaders will share some questions that you might like to discuss as a family - please do pause the video at this point and chat about what you think. Other questions you could chat about could be:

• who was your favourite character in today's story, and why?
• what did you learn about God from today's story?
• did you feel anything in your heart while you were listening to the story today?
• what might you want to change in your life as a result of hearing today's story?

If we were meeting in person in church we would usually be chatting through these kinds of questions with the children over snacks and drinks - feel free to do the same!

Other ways to engage with the teaching this month that we hope wouldn't feel like homeschool might be:

• can you act out today's story together?
• can you write one word or draw one thing that you feel will remind you of the message of the Bible story this week?
• can you think of a one line prayer that you can pray every day this week to help you connect with God on something you learned from the story?

We hope that as you think about these encounters with Jesus in the Bible, you experience your own.

If you would like to join with other friends from BTC Kids for a quick weekly chat on a Sunday lunchtime, our BTC Kids leaders are hosting short calls for primary school aged children on Zoom. Please do contact prayer@bromleytownchurch.com to find out more and register your Flame, Fusion or Fortitude child for one of our small groups. Please do try to watch BTC Kids Online before your call and then you can chat about what you learned together!
