Rock Solid: Building a Heart of Faith, new children's curriculum for the Fall of 2008

Rock Solid: Building a Heart of Faith is the new children's curriculum that is been produced by the United Methodist Publishing House. If you have a standing curriculum order with Cokesbury for Exploring Faith - you will be recieving this new curriculum for the Summer 2008. Otherwise, the curriculum will be available for purchase in Fall 2008.

What's new about this curriculum?

.The sesssions focus on coming to know God and Jesus rather than knowing about God and Jesus.
.They're talking a new language - moving away from school-based model to a faith-building model.
.Creating a new faith experience each week.
.Curriculum is different at each level - the sessions are themetatic with age-appropriate biblical studies. Basically younger boys and girls will study one Bible story and older boys and girls will study a different Bible story, more appropriate to their intellectual and faith development.
.Adaptable so that the church can tailor the curriculum to their needs and age-groupings, including those with one room Sunday School.
.Older Elementary and Tween curriculum is using an annual, commercial CD (the kid's music). All the other age-levels will have an annual musical CD that has been created and produced by professional songwriters.
.Free website activities for children and support and faith-development ideas for teachers and parents.
.Economical - $5.59 per child/per quarter and cheaper than Exploring Faith!
