On back of uniforms

Lanyards Bible cover

Adults!

Implementation Requires preparation

There’s no answer key Opening activity, RP3 questions, closing

prayer Add your own ideas! (singing, bring props to

act out story, consider your setting) With younger children, encourage parents

to participate 30-45 minutes “Put It Into Action” – do something together

(encourage another project at home)

Implementation If you’re used to planning 4-6 weeks for

God and Me, God and Family – continue that format and do 2 patches (6 Bible stories)

Special emphasis one month – read a story a week, and then present patches the 4th week

Weekend campout – read a story Friday, Saturday and Sunday; present the patch

Implementation Outreach emphasis Supplement your Sunday school

programs or children’s or youth ministry programs

Use patches to help connect your congregation with the different “outside” groups meeting in your church

Family ministry and mentoring opportunities

Implementation Challenge older youth to lead the Bible

lessons “Relaxed” series – there isn’t a “right”

way to do the patch; engaging young people and families in scripture is our goal

Rotation of patches and P.R.A.Y. Awards; rotation of new patches and old patches

Future Patches The series will keep on growing Will announce new patches – hope to

post grid online Sample patches: rocks, fish, trees,

sheep, storms, and more!

Q&A

SUMMARY:What Bible Patches are NOT NOT part of the P.R.A.Y. “award” series

The patches are a separate program Do NOT require paperwork

Patches can be ordered in advance Do NOT require a workbook

Patches requirements can be printed for free Do NOT require clergy review/signature

Perfect for families, for grandparents, camp [Do NOT qualify for square knot]

Patches are “participation” patches

What Bible Patches Do: Get kids reading the Bible! Fill in the age gaps Bring unchurched kids up-to-speed

(generate success and excitement for advancing to the P.R.A.Y. Awards)

Provide a resource for camp or weekend setting

Provide a simple tool for personal Bible reading and study
