This post has gotten too large with all the links. Find links to resources for the Come, Follow Me lessons for September – December 2019 here.

I’m currently creating a new website called, A Gospel Centered Home, that will be dedicated to helping parents create an atmosphere and culture where Jesus Christ and His gospel are the center of family life. Until I have that up and running this page will be parked here on Cranial Hiccups.

Below you will find links to resources from church websites that will enhance lessons in the Come, Follow Me New Testament curriculum. The Church has produced so many resources that are free to use! If you know of additional resources hosted on church websites (videos, activities from The Friend, articles, etc.) please let me know through the contact page. This page will be updated constantly throughout the year. I have tried to list the links under the most appropriate audience.

To quickly and easily find the date or scripture reference push control and f (or command and f on a Mac) and type it in the ‘find box’ that pops up. I will try to keep the recent week’s reading at the top of the list. To find past week’s reading just keep scrolling through the post. I keep them all! I just move them to the bottom of the list when it’s a new week.

I’m currently creating a new website called, A Gospel Centered Home, that will be dedicated to helping parents create an atmosphere and culture where Jesus Christ and His gospel are the center of family life. Until I have that up and running this page will be parked here on Cranial Hiccups.

Below you will find links to resources from church websites that will enhance lessons in the Come, Follow Me New Testament curriculum. The Church has produced so many resources that are free to use! If you know of additional resources hosted on church websites (videos, activities from The Friend, articles, etc.) please let me know through the contact page. This page will be updated constantly throughout the year. I have tried to list the links under the most appropriate audience.

To quickly and easily find the date or scripture reference push control and f (or command and f on a Mac) and type it in the ‘find box’ that pops up. I will try to keep the recent week’s reading at the top of the list. To find past week’s reading just keep scrolling through the post. I keep them all! I just move them to the bottom of the list when it’s a new week.
