One Page Stories of Jesus 🌿
Parents and teachers can easily use these weekly lessons, which arrive as a PDF and can be printed as a one page handout. Each lesson presents a story of Jesus that appears in both The Urantia Book and the New Testament. The handouts are designed to fill a half-hour class, ages 8-12. The content of each lesson, however, is entirely appropriate for older students.
Scroll to the bottom of this post for information on how to receive the weekly PDFs, which are free-of-charge.
