Dear friends, I want to let you know about a Tour to Israel that my sister Kristy Christian and I are organizing for June 4 -14. If you are interested in knowing more about it, please e-mail me, and I'll send you all the information. Kristy and I have led tours to Israel for many years, and we would love to include you on this tour if you would like to study more about the Bible with us.

Lesson Ideas:
This week's Lesson includes words that are related to "walking." Notice words like walk, steps, stepping-stone, the way, pathway, etc. Remember that early Christians were not called "Christians" until Antioch, many years after the resurrection. Before this, they were called "the followers of the Way." (Acts 11:26)
___________
Here is some research on the healing and events in the Lesson:
Research on Gen. 5.21 to 24 Enoch
Heb 1: 1 to 3, 9 express image
Matt. 16: Whom do men say that I am?
Mark 16: Resurrection and Ascension
___________
Ideas for teaching the Bible to children:
Story Puzzle for beginning readers (Use this idea to create all different kinds of Bible stories for beginning readers to use. You can plot the story on a map. Look for people, places, and events. Cut them out and use them for puzzles. Send home in a baggy.)

These ideas are to study some of the events in Peter's life. Next week's Lesson includes the raising of Dorcas by Peter.

I hope some of these ideas are helpful to you. If you are interested in having Principia Acorn Director Dorothy Halverson and I come to your church community to share ideas about teaching the Bible to very young children, please let me know. We have some open dates in the spring.
OR if you know of someone who would like to receive this blog, have them enter their e-mail on the front page on the right side.
Warmly,
