Dear Parent: One of the core values of Grace Church is that God designed the family as the primary place for discipleship. The Faith Path tool exists to partner with you as you guide your child in becoming a fully devoted follower of Christ. Age appropriate kits have been created to help you leverage the best faith formation strategy for your child’s stage of development. In this Bible kit you will find practical ideas and suggested resources to help you open God’s Word to your child. I urge you to start today by taking the following simple steps. STEP ONE: LEARN We have provided a short video that explains this particular Faith Path step. You will hear from both experts and ordinary families as they share practical suggestions from their experiences. You will also find a guide that offers practical tips and resources on the topic. STEP TWO: START To help you get started, this kit includes an Old Testament song and a New Testament song to help your child learn the books of the Bible. Use these with the books of the Bible card as a fun introduction to the journey of discovering God’s Word. If we have your child’s birthdate, you will receive a letter at select birthdays with information on how to get the free kit appropriate for his or her age. To confirm that we have birthday information on each child, please contact the church office at 309.452.5076 or email
