The back-to-school aisles are busy places right now. Parents are checking off the items on school supply lists. Kids are looking for the coolest notebooks, backpacks, and lunch boxes.

Why not have a back-to-school list for Sunday school?

As kids are promoted to the next level in Sunday school, they are looking at everything with fresh eyes. They probably have new teachers. They may be in a different, larger study group.

What a great time to give them some new tools to study God’s Word!

Here are some ideas of things to help your child or teen as he dives into a new year of Sunday school:

• A Bible at his reading level with an appealing design or color
• A Bible cover
• A bookmark (perhaps with the books of the Bible, an inspirational verse, or a cute animal)
• A small notebook for notes, prayer requests, and doodles
• A fun pen or pencil
• A new devotional book to draw him into God’s Word throughout the week

What would you add to our back-to-school Sunday school supply list?
