How would our communities look if we truly believed that each of us lives in the very presence of God, within the circle of his grace. God loves us and is with us always, in all we are, in all we think, do or say, and in all of our relationships. That's the foundational message of Circle of Grace, a Christian safe environment program for children and youth. Circle of Grace helps build healthy, respectful relationships. The program gives children and youth the tools they need to:
• Identify and maintain appropriate physical, emotional, spiritual, and sexual boundaries;
• Recognize when boundary violations are about to occur;
• Demonstrate how to take action when boundaries are threatened or violated.
Circle of Grace provides 1-4 lessons for each grade level, K-12, and is designed to supplement and enhance your church education program.
Safe Church is pleased to partner with Dove's Nest, an organization dedicated to 'Faith Communities Keeping Children & Youth Safe', to offer Circle of Grace to CRC congregations. Order Circle of Grace for $75 to cover administrative costs.
