| The vicar has been VERY kind to the children and allowed them
to all come into the sanctuary.
The vicar is seen here telling them all about the altar.
Alice wants to know WHY there are two candle sticks on the
altar.
The vicar is able to explain that one candle represents Jesus as a
human being and the other as Jesus, the Son of God.
Oh dear! Has anybody noticed that there is ONE little boy who
looks very bored and naughty?
That little boy is young Robert Alexander. You see.....he
has even brought his dog and the vicar was good enough to let his dog,
Georgie, join him in the sanctuary.
However, even that has not made Robert Alexander a good boy has
it? He is STILL pretending to be bored and not at all
interested!
Poor vicar! At least the other children are looking very much
more interested in what he has to tell them.

| Priscilla Jane
has already been told all about the altar and why churches all have
them.
The vicar has asked her to do a VERY special job here. She has
got the cardboard box which will be used to put all the miniature paper
church furniture in. The problem is.....HOW can we SEE the
furniture once it is in the box which represents a church?
Priscilla Jane has had a brainwave! She has decided to cut out
one of the sides. Baby Clarissa Elizabeth may be too young to join
in and help but she certainly loved to watch all that goes on from her
high chair. She is VERY content because her daddy, the Rev Ken,
remembered to bring her little teddy for her to keep her secure.
See how well Priscilla Jane has managed below!

| Well done
Priscilla Jane! Look how clever she has been with those pair of
scissors?!
She is showing her work off to the vicar and Megan who have come down
from the sanctuary to see how she was getting on.

| The
vicar has done his very best to gather ALL the children together
to tell them the bible story that Miss Webb had chosen for this lesson
on the church building and, in particular, the altar.
Although most of the children are listening intently to what the
vicar has to tell them, there ARE a couple of children who are
"doing their own thing". Can you see which two children
they are?
As we hope you can see, young Amelia has taken herself to the top of
the stairs! She always loves to sit up there during a Sunday
School lesson. Although you may think she is NOT listening, she IS
because she is a very intellectual child who never misses anything that
is told her in church.
However we are not so sure about young Robert Alexander who is
typically sat slouched on the bell tower stairs. He does NOT look
as if he is hearing one word of what the vicar is saying does he?

 |
| Alice, as
the oldest young lady in the Sunday School, has been asked by the vicar
to give out the templates of the altar for the children to colour in,
cut out and make up.
Look what a good pet dog, Georgie is to Robert Alexander? She
has got his altar template and is just about to give it to him.
Isn't she a clever dog?!
The vicar has told them that the first child who finishes colouring
in and cutting out will have THEIR altar used in the Sunday School
miniature church!!
We wonder WHO will be that lucky child to have such a wonderful
honour?
Next |
 |
| Amelia does
look as if she is doing very well in her work. Already she
has coloured her altar template in with yellows and reds.
She has now begun to cut it out.
Do you think that SHE will be the first to finish her altar?
Next |
 |
| Look at all
the other children here. They are all enjoying colouring their
altar templates in with different colours.
Emily loves the colour blue so it is no surprise that her altar will
have a lot of blue in it!
Some have even started to cut them out but none we see here are
finished yet are they?
Next |
 |
| Oh dear!
We don't think that Robert Alexander stands much chance of finishing
his first do we?
He hasn't even begun! Hurry up Robert Alexander, the other
children are already well ahead of you!
Next |
 |
| Well done Priscilla Jane!
She has already finished hers. It is coloured in and cut out and
stuck down.
Sepp, Homer's pet rat, is being naughty again and jumped up on to the
table to inspect the coloured pencils and crayons.
Next |
 |
| Alice has put
the cardboard box with the side that Priscilla Jane cut out on to the
big table. Priscilla Jane has proudly put her altar in the box and
Phoebe is having a look at it.
She is MOST impressed with Priscilla Jane's work and is now inspired
to finish her altar too so she can take it home with her.
The children have enjoyed this first lesson in the miniature church
series so much that they are very much looking forward to the next lesson.
The next lesson is going to be on the font so please keep coming back
to see when the children do this lesson!
