To this day, I can still remember events from my childhood that made me fearful. Whether it was experiencing a hurricane in first grade, moving to a different state and starting a new school in second grade, or performing in a talent show for the entire school in fifth grade, I still remember the feelings and thoughts of fear I experienced during those times. I am sure that you can recall times in your childhood that made you fearful at that time.

Today, our kids experience the same kinds of fears that we experienced as kids. The different fears of being alone, bullies, scary situations, and being laughed at are things we can all resonate with at some point in our lives. In Central Kidz, we are going to be addressing the feeling of fear as we look at those four topics that fear is associated with. We can’t escape fearful situations in our lives, but we do have a place of refuge and safety. During this series we will address these fears, but more importantly, show kids that we don’t need to fear because Jesus Christ is our Savior. Just as he helped different people in the Bible with fear, he too helps us with our own fear.

Make sure your kids join us during this series as they learn about God’s strength and who they can turn to when fear creeps up. I also encourage you to ask your kids what they learned and address the fears they might have in their own lives.
