Program Description
One the Move is a unique heritage-based, multicultural, Christian educational resource that is perfect for Vacation Bible School! The curriculum focuses on how God’s spirit gave momentum to the Civil Rights Movement in different places, drawing the people of God toward greatness through blessing, justice, truth, and reconciliation. The lessons promote God’s power for life in building up the community, as persons are reconciled to one another and to Jesus Christ.
