We are all God’s family: Children’s ministry lesson

A children’s ministry resource to support your children’s program to create an inviting and welcoming environment for kids with an experience of Out-of-Home Care. 

Recognising that families come in all shapes and sizes and that for children who have experienced foster care, kinship care, permanent care or adoption, ‘family’ can potentially be a bit of a complicated thing – this lesson focuses on the truth that every person has a place in God’s family. We are all God’s family, we are children of God, and we care for one another.

This lesson can be used at any time and would work especially well on the same weekend your church hosts ‘Foster Care Sunday’, or has a focus on families or local foster care ministry.

Theme: We are all God’s family.
