St. Haralambos Day! (with a printable zine)

Martyrs, admittedly, aren't the easiest saints to introduce to little ones, even joyful ones like St. Haralambos. So I made a little zine to tell a simple version of his life. The illustrations are adapted from the comic I made several years ago, which is now printed in this little book: "How to Start a Mission Church" (along with several other stories about mission life).

 The Zine jpg and printing instructions are below. Read a longer life of St. Haralambos here.

a Joyful, Cake-Table, Name-day celebration!

Grab the image above and print the zine on one page at 100% (not "scale to fit"). Folding instructions are below or check out these instructions. I love these tiny little books. :)

Creed Zine

I made a little one page zine to help kids learn the Nicene-Constantinopolitan creed. Grab the pdf above, and print to fill a page.  Instructions for folding and cutting below. 

Teaching the Eucharist to Children

I put together this lesson on the Eucharist with a little zine for our kids at church. I tried to make the book appropriate for a broad age range. It simply explains the Eucharist, with quotes from the services, and bubbles telling the children ways they can participate in the Liturgy, with an image to color on each page.

It prints on one page. Fold the paper in half, in half again and in half again, then cut just the center of the vertical fold. Then you can fold it into a zine. Better fold and cutting instructions here or here. I love this easy zine template and make books for my kids frequently with it. I've embedded the pdf below to make it easy to print (if you can't see it, try this link). Print it at actual size (not scale to fit) for the folds to line up correctly.
