Lessons for Older Children

Current Series: Prophets and Kings

Upcoming Lessons​

We will begin a new series on November 16, 2025 – Prophets and Kings.

Fellowship notes for the lessons on “Prophets and Kings” (November 16 to March 15, 2026)

NEXT FELLOWSHIP MEETING: Monday, March 9, 2026 at 7:30-9:00 PM.

For those who were not able to attend the all-district fellowship, we wanted to provide a brief summary of some important things that came up:
  1. Our love and care for the children is more important than covering lessons. The children should enjoy coming to children’s meeting! In each district, please feel free to adjust what you cover, slow down, or even skip a lesson if that is what works best for your children.
  2. Changes to lessons. The suggested schedule for the lessons has changed. Some lessons have also been recently updated/edited based on our fellowship.

    Some of the lessons on the Prophets and Kings series for the older children have been revised to make them more age-appropriate.
    If you accessed the lessons on the church website previously, please check again to make sure you have the updated versions.
  3. IMPORTANT NOTE: After our all-district fellowship, we considered more about the lesson Joash—Hidden In the Temple and decided to SKIP this lesson because the content is not so suitable for children (a lot of violence including the killing of Athaliah’s own grandchildren). While it contained some good points to follow the proper leading ones (e.g., Joash listening to Jehoiada at first), there are more child-friendly Bible stories that would be better suited for this point. The lesson is still on the website, but we included a NOTE TO SERVING ONES at the top that the content is better for middle schoolers and high schoolers.
