For teachers
Teaching a class changes the clock more than it changes the lesson. The run sheet stretches to twenty-five minutes with the leader extras. The activity page splits 3 to 5 from 6 to 8, so a mixed room works, and each take-home sheet carries a line for you to send home with the child.
One $59 license covers a congregation’s classes, and you can print freely inside it.

Read Noah’s Ark tonight, then print the lesson for the weekend. If you’d rather start at the beginning, the reading plan puts all twelve stories in order. And when a baptism or a birthday comes around, Little Prayers and Bible Adventures are the two keepsake books with your child’s name printed inside, and they’re how these free pages stay free.
