Dear friends, My name is Kathy Merrill, and as the Bible Coordinator for Principia School, I am excited to offer a new blog dedicated to Christian Science families who want to learn how to study the Bible more deeply and how to share what they learn with their children at home or in Sunday School.
The blog will have ideas on studying that week's Bible Lesson more deeply, and all kinds of teaching ideas for different grade levels. This will include going deeper with Hebrew and Greek definitions for words, ways to look at that week's Bible Lesson Sermon, resources of URL addresses to use when teaching young children, handouts to print out and use when studying, etc.
I hope you will find this blog useful and will share it with friends, grandparents, and others who might be interested in this subject and who are working in some way with our youth.
If you are interested in signing up for this FREE blog, just email me directly at kathy.merrill@principia.edu and I will enter you on the distribution list. You may unsubscribe at any time.
With love,
Kathy

Ideas for teaching preschool age:
Here are some prayers to work with for very young children. You can copy each prayer onto a small booklet page and create a prayer book to put beside their table at night. Practice the prayers before going to sleep.

If you live in the Elsah/StL area, you might want to consider coming to Summer Session as a 'day student' to take a course given by me on "In Jesus' Times." It will be one hour each day and will include the context, background, geography, and the deeper study of the baptism of Jesus, the temptation, his healing and teaching, Jesus' treatment of women, the Passion Week, etc. It should be very helpful to parents, Sunday School teachers, and Bible students.
