Mark Harper is one of my brothers in Christ (and CPC room mate last year!) who has developed some really wonderful curriculum for churches who share his Pentacostal background. He has developed a wide range of creative resources and curriculum for children’s church called Super Church. This year he has just released some video shorts that will appeal to an even wider range of churches as they focus on the topics we all are trying to creatively teach our kids. I’m looking forward to watching the samples he gave me. You can learn more about Mark and his resources at: www.superchurch.com
