Teaching Scripture to Kids Theres no text
without context. Its not, Did this really happen?
but rather, What does this mean? Be conscious of
pious preconceptions. Catholics do not read
scripture literally. Learn to know what you dont
know Take a Four Resources approach.

Teaching Scripture to Kids Move kids beyond the
surface level. Less is more. Teach kids how to
use Bible tools. Know the difference between
teaching kids religion and teaching kids to be
religious.

O Lord, our powerful God, how majestic is your
name in all the earth! You have set your power in
the crashing water When I look at the wonder of
your creation, the work of your fingers, the
trees and the waterfalls that you have
fashioned what are we human beings that you are
mindful of us, Mere human beings that you care
for us? (Psalm 81, 3-4
