Children’s Heritage Days

Children's Day 01

What Is a Children’s Heritage Day?

Children's Day 04It is a teaching time during which we help children (ages 6-12) understand the purpose of God for their life and the life of their nation.  They memorize a number of verses while being taught an overview of history from Creation to the Founding of America.  Central to this is the story of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection.  They also memorize several Founding Father statements which help them realize the Biblical thinking of America’s Founders.  They likewise are introduced to the notebook method of learning which was so important to education in early America.  Below are some samples of notes taken by children during a Children’s Heritage Day:

   

   

Children’s workers are given tools and taught how to re-enforce in future children’s meetings what the children have learned during the Children’s Heritage Day.

Children's Day 02A Children’s Heritage Day is generally about 4 hours long and can be done anytime children are available.  Most churches do them on Saturday afternoon during the school year, but any “vacation” day can also work.

Why Do Children’s Heritage Days?

Children's Day 03Because God has a great plan for the life of each child; because of His investment in each life, He deserves for that life to glorify Him.

Because our children are being destroyed for “…lack of knowledge.  Because you have rejected knowledge…Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.” (Hosea 4:6)

Because…

Thus, to see America restored to a Biblically thinking and witnessing nation,
we must first teach the children!!!
