We Are The Church

We Are The Church offers 52 easy-to-use children's object lessons for the entire church year. These lessons are based on New Revised Standard Version Second Lesson texts, mostly from Romans.



Each lesson offers clear directions: Set in italic type, you'll know when to "let the children answer, or give directions."

Easy-to-find objects: A pile of play money, for example, for lesson number 18. This tells about being ransomed from futile ways inherited from your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold. (1 Peter 1:17-21)



The table of contents lists the scripture passages used with each lesson title. All objects are easy to relate to with children and are fun to Use. For example, you may need a cowboy hat, toy building blocks, a microphone, a mask, and a stuffed animal.
