Eligibility
Guidelines:
Girls and boys
in grades 1, 2 & 3 are eligible to participate
in the God and Me program even if they do not belong
to a Girl Scout, Boy Scout or Camp Fire group (church
youth and Sunday School members are eligible to participate
in this program). Each participant must have his or
her own copy of the Student Workbook. A pastor's signature
is required on the application/order form.
Curriculum:
The new God and Me curriculum is designed to help
children become best friends with Jesus and tell their
story of “God and Me” together. Children
will make a game in each lesson and keep their games
in a GAMEBOX (God And Me Exploring BOX). These games
will reinforce the Bible lessons and provide opportunities
for families to explore God's love together.
There are four lessons:
1. God Created Me
Children will study the creation story and learn that
God was pleased with all creation. They will acknowledge
God as Creator and give praise to God.
2. Jesus is God's Gift to Me
Children will learn of God's love through Jesus. As
they tell parallel stories of their own birth and
the birth of Jesus, they will proclaim that Jesus
was born to be their Savior.
3. I Can Talk with God
Children will learn how important prayer was to Jesus
and that God wants them to pray. They will learn four
parts of prayer to help them share their thoughts
with God. Children will be required to memorize the
Lord's Prayer.
4. Because God Cares for Me, I
Can Care for Others
As children learn to lean on God as their Good Shepherd,
they will be challenged to reach out and be “good
shepherds” to those around them.
A typical schedule for completing
the God and Me curriculum might include five different
sessions (an introductory meeting plus four sessions
to complete the four lessons).
Adult Mentor Program
Parents have the option of enrolling in the God and
Me Adult Mentor Program. In this program, the parent
is an active learning participant alongside the child.
The parent would have lessons and projects to complete
in the Mentor Workbook just like the child, and then
both parent and child would work on the student curriculum
together. The mentor program is designed to provide
the adult with additional opportunities to model his
or her Christian faith and to help a young child talk
about his or her belief in God.
