Our world is broken and messy. We see kids struggling with fracture and loss and uncertainty. Our culture feeds their fears and teases them with false hope. But we have a certain hope in Jesus to build on. A promise of saving, eternal love as our foundation.
At the 2019 SMBC Children’s Ministry Conference we considered HOPE: Certain hope for kids living in an uncertain world. The main talks included 'Teaching Assurance to Kids' and a Bible talk on 1 Peter 1:3-12.
The seminars covered: Hope in the Darkness; Exploring Hope; Answering Tough Questions; Looking Back; Looking Forward; Real Hope in a Hostile World; Teaching Key Truths that Give Real Hope For Under 5s; Learning God’s Truths Through Play (Under 5s).
