Old Lessons (No Longer Updated)

Note: Due to changes in our church structure, I no longer use this curriculum. I will no longer update this page, but will leave it up for anyone who still wishes to use it.

I wrote a book!

It's called How to Eat your Bible. It's a 44-week-long devotional guide for children, featuring a six-day-a-week reading plan, a short explanation to go with every Bible reading, questions with spaces to write in your own answers, and a daily prayer guide that walks you through the Lord's Prayer. You can check  it  out at amzn.com/B089TWRZ8P.

Thanks for adding the additional link on the Master Lesson List page! Resources are much easier to find now.

I tried to simplify the list by removing the Resources link, but a very helpful commenter pointed out that the older lessons didn't have a link to the Resources file in them. So, I've added them back. The newer files have a link to the Resources file from within the document. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I'm constantly tweaking these things.

I can't tell you how much I love the AWANA lessons! They were just perfect for my students grades 3-6and fit perfectly with the amount of time scheduled for the lesson. My only complaint would be that I need about 10 more to complete the AWANA year! I resorted to the longer lessons on here and tweeked for our time frame and we just completed the Last Supper. I set it all up just as you said and they loved it and learned so much from it. Tonight we are going to learn about Jesus in the Garden before his death. Thank you so much for sharing your lessons with us. They are oh so helpful for me.

Andy, I just want to say thank you for putting so much time, effort, and prayer into these lessons! I used your lessons the first year I led T&T (4 years ago), and am coming back to these lessons again to find inspiration. These are lessons that continue to bless and reach out to plant seeds of faith in children. I appreciate all that you have done to make these available!
Sincerely,
Debra in California

Hey Andy, are you still posting these lessons? They've been the most helpful tool for me as I teach large group time to Sparks and T&T in the Seattle area. Love them!
