Rise and Shine!: The Early Church is another wonderful book in the Pick Up 'n' Do series. Each lesson will give your kids 40 minutes to 1 1/2 hours of solid Bible teaching and serious discipleship on the growing church as found in the book of Acts. Bible lessons include: Jesus' ascension into heaven, the Holy Spirit comes at Pentecost, the martyrdom of Stephen, Philip and the Ehtiopian, Saul's conversion, Peter's jailbreak and Paul and Silas' imprisonment. Two options let teachers take the lesson from super simple to more challenging. For an "instant" lesson teach the Bible 4U and Shepherd's Spot sections. And the optional Workshop Wonders stretches each lesson with a craft, science or food activity. Teach your young believers what it means to be faithful disciples with this all-in-one resource!
