As in a library of books there are always problems. Sometimes materials get damaged and need to be repaired. Some time the library just doesn't have your favourite books or sufficient material on topics that interest you. Please don't just go away disappointed or frustrated. Tell us what you are thinking and perhaps we can respond. We welcome your e-mail.
In the course of searching the Internet for resources for the PresbyKirk Library I have located some material for sharing the faith with children. This material includes Bible stories (text and audio) as well as colouring pages, quiz material, word searches and cross word puzzles, etc. related to the Bible stories. Some of this material may be useful to parents or to teachers in children's programs who are looking for supplementary material. I will add to these links as I encounter more material of this sort. If you have some favourite sites that you are willing to share, please let us know.(R.J.B.)
Children's Bible Stories A series of over 60 children's bible lessons available in text and Real Audio. This material was developed by the second grade teaching team at Dallas Christian School. There are worksheets to go with the stories but also supplementary notes to suggest how the material can be used to strengthen a child's reading and spelling skills. This is a demonstration of creative people using the Internet.

Note to parents and congregations: The Web Committee of the Presbytery of Hamilton feels that we within the church must be prepared to take the initiative in teaching children how to be safe on the Internet and in encouraging parents to accept the responsibility to teach their children safe Internet practices. We are prepared to provide a speaker or to present a workshop on these and related topics to assist congregations in their ministry to children and their families. We are also prepared to consult with congregations and individuals concerning these issues. To inquire about a speaker or a workshop, or simply to discuss issues that are troubling you, we invite you to e-mail the Presbytery of Hamilton Web Committee that we may have an opportunity to respond.
