Living God's Dream, Participant Guide: Dismantling Racism for Children

By Sally Ulrey, Katie McRee, Malinda Shamburger and Catherine Meeks

A curriculum that builds God's beloved community.

Rooted in faith, this five-session formation curriculum is designed to help children in grades K-5 understand their own belovedness and the belovedness of their neighbors. Living God’s Dream is a curriculum for children built from activities designed to cultivate the practice of seeing the image of God in everyone. Encouraging children to action, service, and relationships, the curriculum helps children resist ideas that treat others as outsiders.

The learner guide includes activities for children and can be taken home at the conclusion of the curriculum, where it prompts discussions within families.

Developed in conjunction with the Absalom Jones Center for Racial Healing and field tested in churches, Living God’s Dream is designed for use in a variety of settings, including Sunday school, schools, and Vacation Bible School.
