Journaling

Journaling pages are designed to help children slow down, reflect, and respond to what they are learning from God’s Word. These pages give children a safe and creative space to express their thoughts, prayers, and questions as they grow in their faith.

Journaling may look different for each age and stage. Some children will draw, some will write a word or sentence, and others may reflect more deeply through writing and Scripture study. All responses are encouraged,there is no right or wrong way to journal.

How to Use Journaling Pages

• Use during or after a lesson

• Encourage honesty and creativity

• Allow children to express thoughts through words or pictures

• Revisit pages over time to see growth

Journaling is meant to support faith development, not perfection.
