Christ Connections at Home – Red Cycle – Part 1

Looking for a way to make Christ Connections at Home with your Children’s Drillers during the week? A parent or grandparent spending a few minutes sharing God’s Word together with the child (and family) can be powerful. In this article, we’ll share some resources and ideas created by the Bible Drill team from the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions that you can use with your families. Encourage families to use these resources to have fun and grow closer to the Lord:

Resource: Bible Drill Tent Cards: Set 1 – Families can use these ideas with their cards:

• Use a hole punch to put a hole in the top corner of each card and place a key ring in it to keep them together. Families can keep them in the car and backpacks as they are on the go.
• Use a magnet to place them on the fridge.
• Put a cute little basket on the kitchen table with the cards in them.

Resource: Bible Drill Family Devotions – Print out and send home the devotions that match set 1 of the Bible Drill Tent Cards: Genesis 1:27, Key Passage – The Creation, Leviticus 22:31, Deuteronomy 6:5, Key Passage – The Israelites Leave Egypt, 1 Chronicles 16:8, Job 37:4, Psalm 19:14, Psalm 54:2, Psalm 145:9, Proverbs 8:33.

Family devotional times are not about teaching an amazing lesson. It is about connecting as a family and showing that your family prioritizes God’s Word. On each verse devotional page, at the top of each verse page, all three versions (KJV, CSB, ESV) of the verse are listed. When you send this out to parents, edit and make sure you use one with only your version OR that you make sure your parents know which version you want them to learn. Each week send your families (by email, by giving out a hard copy, or both) the verse(s) and Key Passage you introduce in class that week. Families could be doing family devotions on the same things you taught in class and learn the verse and Key Passage together that week. This email or copy could also serve as a reminder of what the kids should be working on at home during the week. An alternate idea is to send a monthly email to parents with the devotions.

Thank you to Belinda Stroud and the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions for making these great family Bible Skill Resources available.
