Are you looking for new Sunday School material? Look no further. Here are 13 lessons for the Winter Quarter '24. The lessons begin with “An Angel Appears to Zechariah” and ends with “Jesus and the Great Catch of Fish.”
The lessons are designed for teaching preschoolers through fourth or fifth graders. Children come into the room to be greeted by activities that draw them into the story before they even hear it. They spend 10 to 20 minutes in these activities, then come together for worship and praise, hear the Bible story, reflect on the Bible truths found there along with learning the life application, and close with singing, the Golden Bible words, and prayer.
All material is downloadable, so you print only what you need or want. Children go home with anything they made in class and a story-coloring page, which also includes the Golden Bible Words and a prayer.
A bundle of 13 downloadable lessons is $65.00. Next Generation Teaching Manual is available for $10 and also downloadable.
If you would like to see a full sample lesson (not one of the 13 lessons), you can click on the link below that takes you to a folder containing all of the downloadable files for the sample lesson.
