Children

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.

It will help you explore biblical texts that envision a world without hunger, discover steps that can transform that image into reality, challenge students to imagine a better world, and share new books and ideas.
