From the Archbishop

To the Clergy and Congregations of the Anglican Province of Christ the King

Dear Brethren,

One of the Church's most important responsibilities is the education of our children, particularly in the Holy Scripture. An early introduction to the stories of God and His people helps them to become solid citizens of the Kingdom of God.

The Anglican Province of Christ the King provides some tools to help in this essential education. Through the American Church Union, we offer a Church School curriculum based largely on Holy Scripture. This series makes it easy to teach the stories of the Bible and suggests activities to reinforce those lessons.

The Christmas Pageant script, also available through the ACU, allows the entire parish to act out the events of Advent, Christmas and Epiphany.

The Province also sponsors the Junior Writer's Program, giving our children the opportunity to write their own thoughts about specific Bible stories. The best of these creative works receive cash prizes.

The enclosed brochure gives the topics for the current Junior Writer's contest along with submission information. I hope that each Sunday School teacher will encourage their students to participate.

Should you need any additional forms, please contact my office. If you have questions about the contest, you may address them to Mrs. Christine Sunderland at my office or by email to juniorwriters@aol.com.

I look forward to reading the entries.

Yours in Christ Jesus,

The Most Rev. James E. Provence
