  2. Place your curser over the MIND tab and you will see a drop-down
  3. Slide your curser over “Sunday School Lessons for Godly Play” and you will see another drop down
  4. The first drop down is “Godly Play Curriculum Map,”  that page has a document that lists the dates and name of the weekly lessons.
