"I am a Gift" Curriculum
“I AM A GIFT” was created for Journey Community Church in San Diego, California as a means to set a foundation for the vision for the body, relationships and sex as revealed in the teaching of Theology of the Body. This six session curriculum was implemented and got rave reviews from teachers, parents and children involved in the Kids’ Ministry in this church community. Activities and worksheets are easily adapted for family fun!

My body can speak God’s love.
