Classroom Bibles

Have you noticed there are not Bibles in each classroom? That is because there is a cart with a Bible for each child that follows the group from one workshop to the next:

Note how each child's name is written on the spine (and there are several Bibles labeled "guest"). The students mark the passages they read and date them and highlight memory verses.

When the children graduate to the youth group, they take their Bibles with them, filled with their notes from the lessons they studied in the Workshops. But first, all of the teachers write a note to each student in their Bible (below).

Youth classroom mural with handprints of graduates

I took one picture in the youth room, because this is such a great idea for a program: when students graduate from high school, they add their handprints as "leaves" on the tree mural, along with their name and the date. What a wonderful thing to return to your home church and see! (This is just a small section of the branches; I neglected to take a picture of the full tree.)

here is a picture of the full tree in the youth room.
