Our church purchases Kids Leader Kit Enhanced CD for each family, so that the kids can listen to the songs at home and learn the words faster. I have one student who doesn’t have a CD player in their home or car, so I’d like to know if there’s a digital way to give her the songs.
Aaron Armstrong says
There are a couple of options for this: purchasing the premium content in the LifeWay kids app, or purchasing the album on Apple Music. Currently those are the only two ways for families to access the music digitally.
Erin G. says
Hello! I am trying to access the Family Connection for Students, and I am unable to view the one for Unit 16, Session 4. It comes up with an “error” message. Is there another route I can take to access this information for our parents? Thank you!
Aaron Armstrong says
Hi Erin, I have re-uploaded the file and it should be working now.
Erin says
Thank you!
Jennifer says
I currently purchase the digital bundle for middle school and print it for our middle school leader. When I print off the kids and preschool lessons, I print off the suggested dates bookmark and it makes it really easy to give to teachers. Is there a similar resource for middle school/students? I’m looking for a printable of suggested dates. Thanks!
Aaron Armstrong says
Hi Jennifer, the table of contents in both the Daily Discipleship Guide content and the Leader Guide have the suggested dates, but there is not a specific resource like the bookmark for the kids and preschool content at this time.
Jennifer says
Thanks, Aaron. I’ve looked through material that I downloaded and there is not a table of contents for either. Maybe I’m not downloading things correctly?
Martin Gutzmer says
Hello Aaron,
Our church really likes using your materials.
We would however, like to be able to work further in advance.
Is there a reason for instance, that the future volumes of the year cannot be made available sooner?
Brian Dembowczyk says
Hi, Martin. Glad you are using and valuing The Gospel Project. This resource is an ongoing resource with new materials always releasing, meaning we release content as it is developed. We cannot release all of the future volumes because they are finished one at a time.
Jonathan Crowdis says
Will you guys ever make the “pack items” part of your digital download? I use presenter on a tv screen with maps, charts, your movie clips, etc. and would love to be able to see the quotes and posters the teacher book refers to.
Brian Dembowczyk says
You can purchase a leader pack in either print (for the current volume) or digital (for all volumes) by clicking Shop on this site.
Jonathan says
Thanks!
