Heart Imprints

Heart Imprints – A worship resource for children in the congregation, elementary school, or early childhood ministry. Whether you are giving a children’s sermon, or planning chapel for your Sunday school, early childhood ministry, or Lutheran elementary school, this resource provides ideas for your message that will coordinate with the church year and the worship being planned on Sunday.

Consisting of a Bible reading, an object lesson outline that articulates the law and gospel, and a suggested order of service, Heart Imprints is the new generation of the NPH resource entitled “Chapel Talks for Christian Children” which was last produced in the 2010-2011 school year. While “Chapel Talks” was produced based on a school year calendar, Heart Imprints will be connected to the church year and available throughout the year.
