Breaking News: a 5-Week Teaching Series for Children's Ministry TOPIC: The Prophets SCRIPTURE: Old Testament DECORATING THEME: Newsroom AGE GROUP: Elementary (Get the Preschool version here !) Kids may not be absorbing the news cycle like adults are, but they are experiencing the news cycle through others around them. In this series, kids will have a chance to journey with a few prophets - Micah, Amos, Zephaniah, Ezekiel, and Isaiah - to discover news they can count on. Kids will learn that when things go wrong, they can choose what's right; when they worship God, they can be sincere; when times are tough, they can count on God; when they are lost, God will guide them, and that they can be faithful just like God is faithful.
