Promise: a 5-Week Teaching Series for Children's Ministry TOPIC: God's Promises SCRIPTURE: Genesis DECORATING THEME: Island paradise AGE GROUP: Preschool (Get the Elementary version here !) When God first created the world, it was paradise! But it's not always easy for us to imagine a perfect world where nothing needs to be fixed - especially when we hear sad or scary news about the world we live in today. But even though the world today isn't exactly perfect, there's good news! Even though things sometimes go wrong, God's promises can always be trusted. As kids learn about famous figures from Genesis in this series, they will be reminded of God's faithfulness through the promises that were made to them, like God's promises to f ix what was broken and to always show us mercy, and that, even though they might sometimes take time to be fulfilled, God keeps all promises - both the promises God made for now and the promises God made for later.
