What's Next

SERIES OVERVIEW: Puzzles don't come with step-by-step instructions for solving them. That's what makes them so much fun! You have to try to figure out the next best step to take. When Jesus left Earth, his followers had to wonder the same thing— "What's next?" In this 4-week series about the Early Church, kids will see how Jesus' followers solved the puzzle of what to do next and the ways we can follow in their footsteps. As kids discover what to do next, they'll learn they can follow Jesus, pray for others, love like Jesus did, and share the good news.
