  1. I signed up for the magazine today and thought I was getting several free things looks like you only get a couple items depending on which part of the site you respond to. I wanted more on Christmas. Can I get the extra fee things?

    • Christine Yount Jones

      Johnnie, you should have access to everything on the site. If you search for Christmas on the site, over 10 pages of results will come up. Let us know if you need anything.

    Thank you! This is a great curriculum for kids. Substantive yet simple for them to understand.

  14. Hi, I am unable to access lesson 4. Is it available

  15. Katie Gordon

    I am receiving an error message for the link to lesson 3: Jesus is born. Would it be possible to get this fixed or send a new link? Thank you.

  16. The link in the article for lesson 3 is
    https://childrensministry.com/jesus-is-born-sunday-school-lesson
    which gives a “page not found error”.

    The link that works has “sunday-school-lesson-” at the start, like the other links have:

    https://childrensministry.com/sunday-school-lesson-jesus-born/

    Cheers,
    Ian.
