So, Why God?

This is a series of sessions looking at questions children ask about God. The first few sessions look closely at who God is and take children through the story of Jesus on earth. The remaining sessions look at hard issues Christians face.

These outlines are based on the book So, Why God? written by Scripture Union’s evangelist Steve Hutchinson. The book contains some photocopiable pages and these are available as downloads from the Eye Level Clubs section of this website. A So, Why God? logo is also available to use in club publicity.

The series consists of leaders' notes and twelve sessions, with three extra sessions looking at the themes of sports day, moving on to a new class or school, and holidays.
