The In-depth Study:
This is a fairly in-depth 9-week study on the Fruit of the Spirit and will track with the weeks 2-10 of our Character Matters series. I would recommend (Parents) reading each study in advance and choosing a few of the questions and scriptures to discuss with your kids. I would not read it to your kids; it will come off sounding like a sermon. :-)
Read in advance and prep yourself to talk (discuss) the topic each week. Ask some of the questions here as well as some that come to mind as you prepare. Take a few minutes to pray together when you start and end and have honest conversations on the character of each week. On Week 0 (the intro Sunday) there is no online study. The study for each of the following weeks 1-9 can be accessed by clicking on the green colored link for that Sunday.
