We are so excited to have you join us for a Virtual Village Kids experience!
We hope this is an exciting way to continue talking about our Life App for March - Forgiveness! our theme is DIY - Do It Yourself - because forgiveness has to begin with us. In order to keep it simple, we have laid out the experience in 3 simple steps. (Note: If you have a child in Preschool, check out the Virtual First Look Experience as well!)

STEP 2: WATCH THE BIBLE STORY
Each age group has their own video! If you have kids in both groups, we encourage you to watch both. Or, if you only have time for one, we always suggest aging up and watching the So & So Show! Find your child's age group below to watch!

STEP 3: COMPLETE THE FAMILY GUIDE
Head in to your small group - hint: that's your family today - and work on the Family Challenge and activities in the Family Guide! There are two guides, one for K-3rd and one for 4th - 5th. If you have kids in different age groups, you will see different activities and discussion questions on each guide. Also, make sure your family completes the Family Challenge, which you can find on this page immediately below the Family Guides!
