Dear Friends, This week's Lesson is built around the "leaven" of Truth: Science, Theology, and Medicine. (17 out of 32 markers speak to this subject). The first section establishes Truth's authority in the Scriptures with the "little book" in Revelation 10, which is Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. I know you will enjoy your deeper study of this outstanding Lesson!
Mary Baker Eddy wrote one time in a letter:
"One favor I ask for you -- that you take more time than you have done to study, read, and reread Science and Health. You need it and this will do more for you than you have any idea, and is just what you do need to prepare yourself to take up anew and with brighter and clearer and more spiritual vision the teaching and preaching of the Word that is God. Too much preparation cannot be given to this." (MBE L06961)

See below for a sample of Jesus walking on water for children:
Take one sheet of blue construction paper for the base. Cut two strips of waves the horizontal length of the paper. Do not glue them on, but glue them only on the right and left sides-ends, so the middle is loose.
Have the pieces to make the boat already cut out for the children.
Make a template for a man who wears a robe, to be Jesus. Cut it out for the child and let him color it. Have the child glue a straw on the back of the Jesus figure. Put the straw figure between the waves and let him walk on the water until he gets to the boat:
