Growing in Grace and Gratitude Curriculum 
multi-age "Stories, Colors, and More"
for 2015-2016 & 2016-2017
Covenant Presbyterian Church, Frazier
Covenant PC is excited to expand their Sunday offerings for children. And, they are excited about their plan! Covenant used
Growing in Grace and Gratitude for two academic years: 2015-2016 and 2016-2017. They have the downloaded leader guides and Grace Notes for the multi-age group, but they no longer have the "Stories, Colors, and More" resource. Covenant's goal is to purchase 2019-2020 curriculum, but then choose from the three years of material in order to form clusters around themes. For example, their all-church theme for the year is "Called to Journey Together" so they want to first explore "Journeys" using: 4/3/16 - "Our Eyes Were Opened", 9/13/15 - "God Makes a Promise" and 10/20/19 - "Your God Shall Be My God".
Please contact Jen Langlois at [email protected] if you have any information on locating
"Stories, Colors, and More" for 2015, 2016, or 2107.
