Faith in Motion
Faith in Motion is a “Life-to-Bible”
curriculum. Each lesson begins with an activity that brings an issue to light
that middle schoolers commonly face. In the discussion that follows, our
students draw on their faith to face these challenges. Prayer and Christian
meditation will be added to the curriculum. The students will also be writing
and presenting puppet dramas for younger students and creating a large piece of
artwork based on what they learn this year!
