'Our Easter Sunday Morning' blog entry:

Hi,
I was wondering if you use a certain program for your Sunday home church lessons? ...  How did you get started, and how do you decide what to study?

About our home church services...

We home church every other Sunday morning and on Wednesday evenings. We attend our local church every Sunday evening and every other Sunday morning.

What we are currently using is "Through the Bible in a Year"  by Dana Eynon

ISBN: 0872390284   Publisher: Standard Publishing Co. 1975

It's a 30+ year old book and we have no idea how we came about owning it.

We didn't seek this book out, we simply had it lying around the house

and hubby chose to implement it. And we are enjoying it!

We do the lesson contained in this book which involves searching Scripture

and reading aloud, listening to Dad present the Bible lesson and application,

discussion of the Scripture reading, lesson, and application,

and possible activity or craft.

We try to have print outs for the children to work through.

One of my favorite sites for printouts of Bible lessons and activity sheets is:

Calvary Chapel Children's Ministry Curriculum

We have also used these sheets to compliment our History in the past.

We have used them for years.

On Sunday mornings, after the lesson from Dad, we take a little break, get a snack, and listen to Ally play hymns on the piano as we sing along.

Then we listen to a sermon on cd/tape that has been chosen by Dad. The little girls are allowed to play quietly (and sometimes Will is allowed to finish his color page/activity sheet) while the rest of us listen. I'm a compulsive note-taker, so I take notes, too.

Wednesday evenings vary greatly. Sometimes we may do a lesson from the book or sometimes we may only do some printouts and so forth.Our greatest focus is Sunday morning, however.

And that is it, in a nutshell.

Thank you for leaving a comment/question on my blog, Hope.

I enjoyed sharing this.

Have a blessed Lord's Day tomorrow, everyone...
