Made to Shine: Sunday School Companion (Ages 4–11)

Help every child remember what they learned, and catch up the kids who missed!

The Made to Shine Sunday School Companion builds on each week of the Made to Shine series with a short Bible story lesson that uses the same memory verse. Kids who heard the midweek teaching see the big idea come alive in a new Bible story, and kids who missed it get the whole lesson in a simple, stand-alone way.

Every age group hears the same core lesson, with activity sheets, teaching tips, and hands-on ideas made just for ages 4–5, 6–7, 8–9, and 10–11.
