Dive Deeper
In this Kingdom Step, we will look take a closer look at things! How has God’s Kingdom worked in the world? How can you get to know God more? We cannot wait to “Dive Deeper” with you in your faith and give you some tools to explore!
¡Hola!
Have your group spend a few minutes getting to know one another. Ask them their name and maybe some of the questions below (make sure you participate too):
Would you rather carve a pumpkin or eat turkey?
What's your favorite thing about Fall?
Who here works out? How many push-ups can you do?
If you could be a professional athlete in any sport, which sport would you choose and why?
Why are you at Kingdom Steps today?
2. Take a moment to ask kids why they are at Kingdom Steps. “Because my mom made me…” is a completely acceptable answer!
Look Closer.
