Trot Through The Bible
         
            This section contains video clips from our two school year Trot through the Bible course
    Created specifically for 7th and 8th grade students, most of the activities can be used with any age

​                                  It's a year of Old Testament and a year of New Testament 
                              Yep, it's hard to choose which Bible passages to focus on in the  
                                          limited time we have during the two school years
