                              Dwell
                              Dwell curriculum awakens kids’ imaginations to the ongoing story of God that starts in the
                              pages of Scripture and continues in our lives today. Kids, young teens, and their leaders grow
                              in faith as they explore each story and retell it together. At the middle school level, young
                              teens discover how Reformed/Presbyterian doctrine grows out of the narrative of Scripture.

                              With Dwell, kids do more than hear a story. They experience it. Take-home pieces and lesson
                              elements are designed to stick with kids throughout the week. Each level of Dwell has a name
                              that reflects the experience.

Walk With Me
This Sunday school curriculum for preschool through grade 8 is being phased out, and materials may not be
available for purchase as inventory sells out.

The newer Dwell curriculum (pages 2-5) builds on the best features of Walk With Me and introduces some new
things that Walk With Me users told us they wanted to see in a new curriculum. Visit FaithAliveResources.org/WWM
to watch a special video message explaining how to easily transition from Walk With Me to Dwell.

                         God Loves Me
                         A newly revised set of 52 colorful storybooks designed for children ages 2-3. A
                         meaningful way to nurture faith at home and at church!

                         God Loves Me storybooks are a well-loved and much-used resource in church preschool
                         ministry. Now newly revised, these storybooks provide families and churches with a
                         wonderful way to nurture faith while establishing devotional habits of Bible reading and
                         prayer.

                         Each book retells a Bible story in simple language that young children can understand,
                         a prayer, and suggestions for learning-through-play activities. Children will learn
                         about God’s wonderful creation and people like Abraham, Hannah, David, Simeon,
                         Anna, Peter, Jesus, and Paul—and all the wonderful stories in between. Children will
                         be engaged by fresh, vivid illustrations and simple language as parents, grandparents,
                         child care providers, and preschool teachers delight in sharing with them the stories
                         they cherish.

                         The books also make a great gift for baby showers, baptisms, birthdays, and holidays.

                         At HOME God Loves Me nurtures the faith of young children by

                         •    giving parents (and grandparents) age-appropriate language to talk with their kids
                              about faith.
                         •    encouraging families to cultivate devotional habits from a very young age by
                              providing one storybook to focus on for each week of the year.
                         •    providing families with holiday stories that will help them express the meaning of
                              Christmas and Easter to their young children.
                         •    personalizing God’s Word so that kids know the Bible is God’s book written for them
                              too.

                         At CHURCH God Loves Me nurtures the faith of young children by
                         • introducing children to a large portion of Scripture through 52 stories from the Old
                             and New Testaments that capture the essence of each story in a way that respects
                             the attention span and learning level of two- and three-year-olds.
                         • inviting children into God’s story in a theologically faithful way—keeping God at the
                             center and introducing children to the love of Jesus.
                         • helping children feel sure that God loves them and developing in them a sense of
                             belonging as one of God’s children and as part of the people of God.
                         • providing churches with an easy-to-use format (a story, wondering question, and
                             prayer, with learning-through-play activities) to use to share God’s stories with
                             children in their preschool, nursery, or daycare ministries.
