Making a Parade for Jesus

Create an interactive atmosphere where maximum learning takes place with this collection of 52 easy-to-use children's lessons for the entire church year. Based on Gospel texts (mostly from Luke), Runk's messages use a conversational tone and easily obtained items such as a pen or a light bulb to help young people understand their growing relationship with God. Each lesson features simple delivery that helps establish a rapport with the children ("Good morning, boys and girls! Have you ever..."), clear directions that indicate when to "let the children answer," and familiar objects like a magnifying glass to illustrate "searching diligently for the child" in Matthew 2:1-12. A convenient table of contents lists the scripture passage used with each lesson.
