hi,, how could i access free Christmas craft.. or coloring materials for children this Christmas am here in Philippines and don’t have enough money to have your Christmas booklet….
Thank you for the great Sunday School ideas. I teach a class of 2nd and 3rd graders. Our church provides a lesson manual for us to teach from each year, but this year the manual did not include an Easter or Christmas lesson. I will definately be using some ideas from your site.
I am looking for some Christmas songs for my Children’s Church. We’re a small church and our regular children that attend are there every other week because they are with their other parent. The other children that attend do not attend on a regular basis. With this said, I need songs that are going to be easy to learn that do not require music.
Here’s a site I use with tons of plays,skits, monololuges, etc. short to long, serious and funny large or small groups:
