--from SSTN: check out our Super Heroes of the Bible series at: http://www.sundayschoolnetwork.com/Bible-4-life.html even though it is for k-5th grade, there are many ideas which could be adapted for younger kids.

2) Camp curriculum?
I am looking for curriculum for a summer children's camp in 2008 on the Armor of God. Do you have anything on this order, or can you recommend something.
This series can be expanded into a 5-6 session program.

3) Object Lessons for Teens?
Do you have any object lessons geared toward teenagers – middle school and high school ages – ages 12/13 and up? Teaching materials for teens are so hard to find.
--from SSTN: We
do not produce lessons for this age group. However, we do have some recommended resources for this age group in our bookstore
section at: http://www.sundayschoolnetwork.com/bookstore.html

4) Daniel Song
I just finished a song to teach along with Daniel in the lion's den. If you want to use it, you can. It is to the tune of Jesus Loves Me. (On the choruses the notes are held on the first syllables.)
There was a law that none could pray Except to just the king each day No matter what the law might say Daniel knew that he would pray.
Chorus To God Daniel prayed His God he obeyed Although the law said That Daniel would be dead..
Hungry lions filled the den They opened wide their mouths and then God sent an angel who all night Kept them closed til morning light.
Chorus Oh, Daniel, please say You’re safe and okay Yes, king, for you see My God took care of me.
Because of Christ, Helen Setser
--from SSTN: awesome, Helen. Thanks for sharing it!
Wanting suggestions for a Sunday School Bulletin Board. I have pictures of everyone that attends each class and want to use each of their faces on the Bulletin Board. My goal is to challenge others to invite someone and watch our Sunday School Class grow? So I thought of flowers and placing their faces in them? I want to keep this up a year and add pictures of others as we grow? Any suggestions??? I am open for any suggestions?

6) Praying for our Soldiers?
any other ideas for praying for our Soldiers would be appreciated. I wanted to have a USO show for Rally Day. The kids and adults would do Patriotic and Christian arts and drama. It would be called, "Serving Those
Who Serve". Singing, dancing, skits, arts and crafts.That day would also be
a kick off for collecting items for our soldiers. Thanks, Cindy

For those wishing to contact Connie G. about lesson plans on "Attitudes of the Heart" use the e-mail address of scioart@yahoo.com.

8) How do I donate?
Hi Sarah, Would it be possible to set up direct debit banking for donations to SSTN? It would be so much easier for us international subscribers to pay that way.
Thanks for your wonderful work for God! Sharon
--from SSTN: Dear Sharon, yes, I think so. But you will need to speak with your local bank to make sure. I have a few supporters who do this here in the USA, so I know it is possible here. Make sure you send it to SSTN's "d.b.a. ("doing business as"). See info below for Support Ministry or follow this link: http://www.SundaySchoolNetwork.com/ministry_support.html
Thank you so much for asking and for your willingess to help further this ministry! You are a blessing!
>I would like to start a children's moment in my church. If you have any >ideas send them to me.
This is a great way to use Puppet Ministry. I'm from Grace Lutheran Church in St. Charles. We have our Pastor read the Gospel and then he calls the kids up front to visit with Gabby and her friends. Gabby is a pink flamingo puppet. Gabby's interpretation of the Gospel reading is from a child's point of view and can be somewhat mixed up and sometimes hilarious but allows the children to identify through Gabby in trying to understand the message. However, I have found that the adults in our congregation enjoy Gabby's visit as much as the children. Several of Gabby's skits are located on this wonderful website. Contact me if you need additional help with puppet ministry. gpeterson@cauto.com
Blessings Gail Peterson Grace Lutheran Church/St. Charles IL
--from SSTN: we've set aside a whole section just for Gabby! You can find Gails' skits in the skit section of the site under the F-R-E-E Stuff section at: http://www.SundaySchoolNetwork.com
