That is wonderful, to know the names of God in Hebrew is beautiful. Here is something that you might be interested in is banners. Small home banners can be made simply by using a small piece of felt and gluing the letters on with tacky glue. Then outlining it with glitter paint will reinforce it and give it a beautiful look. The finishing touch is to sew a ribbon along the top so they could be hung up. On one side you can put the Hebrew name, then in English or another language you can put on the reverse side.

2) Large group, thanks
I just want to thank Dawn for her great suggestions for teaching large groups of kids. How refreshing! Helen Setser

3) Stories for Kids
I had a book of really sweet childrens stories. each story had a biblical lesson within. it is called "Paw Paw Chuck's Big Ideas in the Bible". It s a great book for small children because it connects situations of our day with biblical principles. hope this helps. connie
Hi I am priveleged to be the leader of a small baptismal preparation class this year. I am interested in any exciting videos, books, visuals or songs or puzzles that we can have fun with. My class will attend 20 times before our Baptismal Day so I have the luxury of sharing God's joyfullness in an unrushed atmosphere. So any crafts or involving water, butterflies, white garmets, new life that have worked well for some of you would be appreciated. I will be keeping you updated throughout the year of how things are working for us.
Loving Him with you, Connie

5) The Watchmaker Video -

6) Jewels for JESUS...
Sharon asked about how to make large jewels. One of the treasure-related VBS message boards, someone suggested spraying styrofoam balls with silver, gold, or irridescent paint and stringing them together to make large necklaces of silver, gold, or pearls. You might also be able to buy a sheet of thick styrofoam and cut other shapes out and paint them to represent emeralds, rubies, sapphires etc. Good luck! Wendy Ohio

8) Explaining the Church
Group publishing has a free lesson about the church at http://www.grouppublishing.com/free/Childrens/k_family.htm
It's written for the kindergarten age group, but it might give you some ideas.

9) Activities for Boys?
I love the ideas on this network! It is great to be working for the Kingdom of God together instead of competing over programs! I was wondering if anyone had some good ideas for activities for boys -- 1st - 6th grade. We are planning a sleep over for the girls but I know boys are not interested in painting nails! Thanks for your help!
