Significant moments in life – rites of passage – milestones – are important in our children’s lives, yet we often commemorate such occasions with a passing “congratulations.” This is one of six Stepping Stone milestone classes Equipping Fireflies has developed to enable you to both celebrate with the children in your ministry and encourage and equip their parents.

GRADUATION is the final STEPPING STONE in the series developed to enable you to teach and celebrate with the children in your ministry and encourage and equip their parents as they transition to the youth ministry.
Transitioning from elementary to middle school can be a nervous and challenging time for both students and their parents. The goal is to:
- Encourage the parents of your students as they enter this unnerving time of the teenage years.
- Equip your students with godly suggestions regarding the changes they will face in the next few years.
- Share the message of the gospel with both the students and their parents as they begin their journey.
- Teach what the Bible says about making godly friends, good choices, and our identity in Christ.
This resource was created to help you encourage and equip kids and families as they prepare for the move into middle school ministry. It helps to create a bridge between your children’s ministry and the youth ministry. It could also be used separately as a parenting seminar for middle school parents.
