Jesus, our Forever Friend

Friends are great gifts from God . . . and the greatest friend of all is Jesus, our Savior!

Grab your gear and join Friendship Trek, an amazing hike through the Bible to meet Jesus, our Forever Friend. Kids find fun, faith, and friends at Friendship Trek. They experience Jesus’ friendship, enjoy meeting old and new friends, and learn to care for one another.

Kids explore five friend-filled Bible stories about Jesus.

• They run to follow Jesus as He reaches out to a new friend named Matthew. 
• They go along as a centurion’s friends ask Jesus to heal the man’s servant—and He does!
• They traipse to the temple as Jesus heals a blind friend, then go . . . 
• To Bethany to see Jesus raise His friend Lazarus from the dead.
• Finally, they scurry to a locked room on Easter evening to witness the ultimate love Jesus showed by giving His life for His friends.

Each day begins at Trailhead Opening where kids meet their Friendship Circles and Circle Guides (small groups and leaders). They sing, pray, and start the day. 

Then kids "hike" their own Friendship Trek to rotation sites where they unpack the Bible story and explore the friendship Jesus offers.

Finally, everyone gathers at Friendship Summit Closing to sing and pray and wrap up.

 Friends are great gifts from God, and Jesus is the greatest friend of all!
