Theology Matters
theology matterseven for 5-year-olds. Choosing a Reformed curriculum can make a huge difference in how your children will come to know god and gods Word. Many curriculums present the Bible as a collection of stories that teach moral virtues and showcase a variety of biblical heroes. they use Abraham to teach obedience, Hannah to teach trust, and Joseph to teach perseverance. Reformed curriculums view the Bible not as a collection of stories but as one storythe story of how god redeems and restores the world through Jesus. the main character and focus of that story is not a moral or a herobut god. Its a story that began in eden and continues in our lives today. Whether youre 3 or 103, the story shapes how you know godand how you know yourself.

DWELL Story Symbols

every story in Dwell has a story symbola simple visual reminder of the story for kids and their families. In fact, if you laid all of them out together, youd have a wonderful picture timeline of gods big story! the symbols are used in different ways in Dwell: sometimes we may hold them up for kids to wonder about before we tell the story, sometimes they are used as the story is told. But each week the symbol is displayed in some way in the room, and it appears on every take-home paper or other item the children receive. the story symbols also help children understand that all the different stories theyve been exploring are part of oNe big story that tells us about god, gods loving plan for the world, and our role in gods plan!

Retell: Spread a blanket on the floor for a picnic snack. (Use real food or pretend!) Tell each other what surprised you in this story. Wonder: Have you ever had to wait a long time for a special day to arrive? How did you feel? Do you think Abraham and Sarah felt like that Genesis 24:1-7 , as they waited for Gods promise to come true? 10-38, 50-5 1, 61-67 Pray: God came to Abraham and Sarahs home for dinner. We cant see God like Abraham and Sarah did, but we can talk to God in our prayers. Think of something youd like to tell God, then join hands and take turns telling God that thing. Praise: God always keeps promises. High five each other and shout Yay, God! Share: Isaac means laughter. Why do you think Abraham and Sarah chose that name for their baby boy? What do your names mean? Why were they chosen? Respond: Look for stars in the sky before you go to bed tonight. As you do, name a way God has blessed your family. Then thank God.

Families can purchase a CD with all of the songs from DWell to continue the learning at home. or they can download individual songs (including Memory Challenge scripture songs).

The set includes 165 cards and a fun, color-coded die. On the front of each card is one of the story symbols and the Scripture passage where the story is found.
On the back of each card are 5 simple, doable, and fun activities that help families respond to the story. they include: Pray, Praise, Re-tell, Wonder, share, and Respond. Families can use these in a few different ways.
They may want to use the cards that match the stories their children are learning at church. In that case they can invite their child to find the card with the symbol that matches the one on their take-home paper.
Or, they might opt to work their way through the whole narrative of scripture by moving from the front to the back of the box.

Finding Your Story in the Psalms
Kevin adams Sung, whispered, shouted, and groaned by Muslims and Jews, Protestants and Catholics, Bob Marley and J.S. Bach, the psalms express the faith of a thousand generations. People have used psalms to voice their deepest anguish and delight, to comfort others, to express emotions they hardly dare to admit. In this book Adams shares stories of unlikely psalm pray-ers and unpredictable God, opening up the honest and earthy world of the psalms in new and unexpected ways. And he invites us to find our own story within that community of faith.

The Day Metallica Came to Church

According to author and pastor John Van Sloten, God can speak through all of them if were listening. Drawing from his own often startling and sometimes wrenching journey of discovery, Van Sloten shows how God can speak to us through anything and everythingheavy metal music, R-rated films, sports, and even the latest fashions.

Scriptures are filled with God working in unlikely and scandalous ways, through brothel owners and adulterous kings and reborn terrorists. And just as the Scripture says the rocks can cry out, John Van Sloten reminds us that so can the rock stars. May we find something of God in these pages that can help us love better . . . and change the world. Shane Claiborne, author of The Irresistible Revolution; freelance troublemaker and instigator of holy mischief; thesimpleway.org
Kevin Adams sees the powerful, unrivalled way in which the psalms speak out transformatively, one poem at a time, one person at a time, one crisis at a time, one elation at a time. Readers will find Adams bringing these poems to their lives as well, mediating our pain to God and our hope from God. The book is a gift that keeps on giving . . . as long as the poetry lasts.

Origins
Deborah B. Haarsma and Loren Haarsma When it comes to the history of the universe, many believe that science and faith are mutually exclusive.

Clearly explaining the science, the authors focus on areas where Christians agree. They also present the strengths and weaknesses of areas where Christians differ.

Inspired in every sense of that word and masterfully compiled, Seeking Gods Face is a prayer book always and everywhere to be treasured. From our very beginnings, we have understood that fixed daily prayer is just as necessary to the fully realized Christian life as water and food are to the bodys sustenance. The problem for many Christiansand especially those from Reformed branches of the faith has been the lack of prayer tools and prayer books that accord with their communal traditions. Now in this one volume, Philip Reinders gives the Church not only a solution to that problem but also a God-drenched prayer tool suitable for all of us.
