SERIES OVERVIEW:

What does it mean to be WonderFILLED? It means you know who God is and who He has made you to be. It means you look for Him and see Him throughout His creation - including within your life! This series will help kids discover their true identity in God's big story and know without a doubt that they belong to the wonder-giver himself! This series teaches our kids that God Knows Them, Jesus Loves Them, the Holy Spirit Leads Them and that They Are A Child Of God!
