Based on the fruits of the Spirit of Galatians 5:22-23, this edition of the Kids' Travel Guide series leads your Sunday school or midweek program on a 13-week Scripture-based discovery of how God's Spirit helps us express God's love to others through caring actions, and healthy attitudes.

In each of these 13 lessons, you will take your kids on a travel adventure with:
