Dear friends,
Each week I do five conference calls to study the lesson more deeply. They are offered five different times, but the content is pretty much the same. The conference calls are supported by Peace Haven Nursing Association as a gift to the wider Christian Science Community. The purpose is to encourage deeper study of the Scriptures.
If you are interested in joining me on a FREE phone conference call during this week to go more deeply into the lesson on “God the Preserver of Man, just call me at 618 980 2207 or email me at kathy@peacehavenassociation.org. I will send you the times they are offered and the phone numbers to call in on. On the Monday of each week, you will receive handouts that I will use during the conference call. __________

CHILDREN’S IDEAS:
Biblefunforkids: I am the good shepherd
Cards to show events in Jesus’ life
Telling a new Bible story each week
Cut out into flashcards and put names and dates in right order (you can take just a few at a time)
Flashcards can be used to learn people in the OT: Put the name on one card and the description on another card. Match them. Keep practicing and eventually the child will know the characters in the Bible.

Many people have asked how they can express gratitude for the blog and for the calls in a monetary way. If you would like to, you may send a check to Kathy Merrill, 707 Turtle Cove, Ballwin, MO 63011. Or I have joined Pay pal, if that is easier.
Many of you have expressed appreciation this holiday season, and I am so grateful for your love and generosity! It helps me to maintain this work!
With love,
Kathy
