A Word from Karyn
Hi good friend!

The kids are back in school, and while some children's ministers, Sunday school teachers, educators and
Karyn Head smallparents are making last-minute decisions about curricula for this school year, others are looking well ahead to - yes, you're there already - Christmas!  The time to rehearse Christmas programs will soon be here.

A couple of years ago, a preschool teacher who had successfully used two of our Christmas musicals asked for two more, because the same children were in her program four years in a row, and she didn't want to repeat musicals with them.  So we wrote two more and introduced one last fall. 

We now have all four Christmas musicals in stock, and
Child is bornthis month, we are highlighting the fourth: To Us A Child Is Born.  It's based on Old Testament prophecies about a coming King and Savior.  After each prophecy, the children ask, "When will He come?  Who will He be?  We will have to wait and see."  At the end, the narrator asks, "Did God keep His promise?" - which, of course, is answered by the children with a big "Yes!" before they close with the theme song.  If you've used my musicals before, you know that optional activities are included in the script so teachers can make class time the rehearsal time.  We also include a CD.  The entire musical takes only 10 minutes to perform, and is age-appropriate for ages 2-5.  Click on these links for script samples and a downloadable mp3 sample.  Information on this and other preschool musicals is available on my website.

We're also highlighting the Active Learning Series
ALS Books all 6 consisting of Arts and Crafts (volumes 1 & 2), Action Rhymes & Active Games, Snacktivities, Story Telling, and Exploring God's World (science-related activities) for ages 2-5. (The entire series contains a total of over 800 activities.) I created these books, because sometimes we teachers need extra activities, or alternate activities.  Or we have a special program with no set curriculum, just a Bible story for the time we're given. 

Because I've been a teacher, I know it's time-consuming to search through activity books to find an activity that might work with the Bible story you're teaching.  So I made an index of Bible stories in the back of each book, cross-referenced to the activities that would be appropriate for that specific story - which means these books work with any curriculum, even my own Bible Time.  In fact, with a little creativity, you could use these indexes to help build your own curriculum.  Hmmm . . . possibilities!

By God's grace, to His glory,

Karyn Signature

Here's what previous participants have experienced:

"This [conference] was wonderful and personally faith strengthening. Karyn helped us take the blinders off and gave us a good look at the world looking at us. ... Our ministers need to hear this."

"[Karyn] helped me understand where others are coming from ...including my adult children!"

"Excellent, relevant information! A must for all who lead the children of this generation."

"[This] conference opened my eyes to see why changes are needed"

"You are starting the sparks that will become a wildfire..."

Comments like these from attendees confirm the need to know not only how to be a Christian, but why--why of all belief systems in the world would anyone want to be a Christian?  

Join with concerned Christians from as far away as Washington, New Mexico, Virginia and other states for this intensive two-day (Monday evening - all day Tuesday) worldview/apologetics conference.  You will be challenged to examine your faith, and perhaps understand and communicate the unique message of the gospel as you never have before.

More information and registration is available online at our website, or by calling toll-free 1-888-573-3953 (M-F, 9-5pm, Central).
