• Sing it (around 5 mins) - A song suggestion to enhance your time of worship.
• Share it (around 10 mins) - Different ideas for telling the story and sharing biblical truths.
• Action it (10-20 mins) - An idea to help children reflect on this week's theme.
• Pray it (around 5 mins) - A time of response and prayer for the group.
• Fruit of the Spirit to connect each session to a characteristic of the Holy Spirit for everyday life.
• Ideas to send home to families, to explore the theme further (not in Explore it Light).
