The Mission Control Emotions Sunday School Companion builds on each week of the Mission Control: Emotions series with a short Bible story lesson that uses the same memory verse. Kids who heard the midweek teaching see the same truth come alive in a new Bible story, and kids who missed it get the whole lesson in a simple, stand-alone way. From Elijah under the broom tree to Mary pouring perfume on Jesus, kids see real people in the Bible feel big emotions and bring them to God.

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. And every lesson begins with a Leader Preparation page to help teachers prepare their own hearts first.
