“Shortest Catechetical Media/Tech eLetter Ever” from NACMP Vol. 03 Issue 1

***DVD suggestion for the day (thank you Ms. Tricia Tranel):
"Princess Madison And The Royal Darling Pageant" by Karen Scalf
Linamen, ©2006 by Baker Publishing Group.
If you are teaching a lesson on Baptism, God's unconditional love, or
self-worth, this delightful read-aloud is one of those that "says it
best in a story." Princess Madison had dirt under her nails, freckles
on her nose, and marbles in her pocket. But she still thought she was
a princess until her sister told her otherwise. Participating in the
Royal Darling Pageant was the perfect opportunity to find out if she
really was a princess. As Madison discovers that a princess is a
princess by the very fact that she is the daughter of the king, young
people will discover that they also are children of the Father by the
very fact of the Father's love for them.
