GLORIA
Glory be to the Father
and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen

THE PROFESSION OF FAITH

Heavenly Father, I pray for my friend Breanna. She is very upset now that her father is angry with her because she did not pass.

Father, you see everything that is in this dear child's heart. You see the hurt. You see the pain.

Come into her heart, dear Jesus and take away every sin. Give her a pure heart. Make her clean through the blood you gave for our sins when you died on the cross for us. Make Breanna your child.

Lift her into your Arms and carry her through this time of deep hurt. Let her know the deep love you have for her no matter how things go at school.

In Jesus' Name. Amen.

I just wanted to say a few words about the site called "The Children's Chapel". I recently found it while searching for a resource for help in teaching a young children's bible study class and I must say that it was definitely a "Godsend". The entire format is easily accessible. I like the way that each lesson runs concurrently with the bible. It helps me to organize my lesson plans and coordinate other activities to go along with the lesson theme. I love the introductions that lead into the bible lessons and I use them with my class. It really helps them to pull the lesson into their everyday lives and they relate better. I couldn't be more pleased. I thank God for your work and I'm eternally grateful.

Subject: Children's Story Use

I want to thank you for your site and let you know how our church is using the 54 children's Bible stories. We use them for children's church, and each week we supply a BIG brown manila envelop with the story, all the materials for a simple craft that is related to the story with a completed sample, a coloring page or connect-the-dots, etc. for the kids to use if time permits, and a finger-play or song that fits the section. We often practice the same 3 or 4 finger plays for several weeks in a row. Then the children perform them in adult church as the special music. The kids are so proud, and the adults are thrilled.

The very nice thing about this method is, it allows us to rotate teachers. (We have teams of two that work together to teach.) Every 10 weeks it's a team's time to teach for two Sundays. The fully-prepared lesson packages takes the "fear" out of teaching, plus is great if a teacher can't make it to church. Anyone can pick up the packet and teach a great lesson without one minute's advanced preparation.

The teachers love the lessons, and we are pleased that it takes the kids through the whole Bible in a really well done fashion.

The lady who does the crafts for the packets has great ideas. An example was Noah's Ark. She took a paper plate, folded in half so it would stand up on the rounded edge and rock when you touched it. She then had the children use a brown crayon to draw the door and windows. (Not that the ark really had windows.) Then the children placed small animal stickers in pairs in the windows to give the effect that the animals were looking out. It made a very cute and easy craft. The kids really enjoy their weekly craft.

Our children's church lasts about 40 to 45 minutes. We start with the story. Then have a snack. Then we do the craft and then practice the finger play(s) or song(s) and follow that up with the coloring page or outdoor play time, as time permits.

We are currently on lesson 33 and the program is proving to be very successful. We have a small church and usually have about 10 to 18 kids in children's church with 15 being about the usual. As needed, we invite one or two of the teens to help the teachers, and the teens (both the boys and the girls) are so tickled to get their chance to help. They seem to enjoy it as much as the little kids, which is great, because we are raising up future teachers.

Also sometimes we do the story while the kids are having their snack. They don't talk much when their mouths are full and seem to pay more attention when they are involved with munching.

Thanks very much again. Please pass this letter on to all those involved in "The Children's Chapel." I want every one to know that their work is truly appreciated!!

Praise the Lord! I received the first story from you. Thanks for the same. As I am a Sunday school student, I find your stories really helpful. It has really made me learn so many new topics. Please continue to send me your stories. Could you also please let me know other sites where I can find Bible stories on the net? I would be ever obliged.

I take this opportunity to congratulate you on the pains taken to develop such an excellent page of yours where I could surf and learn a lot. Most of the stories there are really new to me and I am interested to know more about the Bible and learn from it.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the fantastic site.

I have a group of young children who visit our church every Saturday morning to "surf" the net and where they always want to visit is The Children's Chapel. It is also the only site where I can feel safe that they will stay in and not wander into places they shouldn't enter. Some parents also come to this session and they get just as much information and enjoyment as the children from "The Children's Chapel".

This is the one site where they can find anything they want from stories, activities, prayers, songs, etc.
