BOLT Stories Jesus Told Small Group Planbook

The BOLT Stories Jesus Told Small Group Planbook introduces kids to a few of the stories Jesus told: the parables. They will see what Jesus had to say about being lost, loving our neighbors, growing spiritually, forgiving others and building a foundation on God’s Word.

This 5-lesson Bible Exploration unit can be used as part of a short-term club program, after school club, children’s church, Sunday children’s ministry, summer church camp, or anytime that fits your church schedule. This is a way to go deep and disciple kids in a short amount of time.

Each Small Group offers a relational time for kids during which Small Group Leaders  help kids engage in a hands-on activity that further illustrates the Bible Exploration presented during Large Group time.
