Happy Easter!
Hi, Glenys! I gave a copy of the book to our CE Director and will let her know about this packet of info. We do virtual Sunday School right now but our director prepares packets for the kids to pick up at church. Thanks for all the wonderful resources! I’ll let you know how our church uses the book and ask for some photos for you to share.
Blessings to you!
Kathy
Oh, Kathy, that is so wonderful to know! Thank you so much for all your encouragement to me. I would LOVE to see any photos. Many blessings to you too!
I am super excited to be doing the StoryWalk, using Twas the morning of Easter!! We will offer it for all of Holy Week, so that people from the community as well as our congregation may access it any time they like. I’m looking forward to hearing you read the book at your launch at Baker!
Oh, bless you for that, Kate. You are such an encouragement to me, and I’m so excited that your church will be doing the StoryWalk.
