I am busy printing out all these great studies! I can't get the journal pages for this unit to pull up on a screen all by themselves so that I can print them. Can you help?

I have to say it again - these Bible studies have been such a blessing. Your journal pages are so insightful for teaching littles! It has really been a timely blessing, too. One night my 6 year old was feeling really anxious and stressed out. That very morning we had done the journal page for Peace that showed a child with a box full of cares and worries and what happens when she takes it to the cross. After we talked about that coloring page again, he was so much more calm and he learned more about God’s Peace.

Thank you!
