Taking Root: Hunger Causes, Hunger Hopes  [top]

Taking Root is a complete curriculum for your congregation. The curriculum includes five sessions each for three different age groups: grades 3–6, grades 7–9 (junior high), and grades 10–12 (senior high). All age groups have parallel content, so the biblical texts and themes, children's literature, and many projects and activities are the same among the age levels.
