Light from the Loft... Illuminating God's Word Through Meaningful Activities

Hi, I'm Frances.

I write to help children understand gospel truths, and to encourage and equip those who are on this same mission. As creator of Light from the Loft, I want to share the best ideas I've written and collected over my twenty-one years as a Children's Ministry Director.

The light from my loft often shines until the wee hours as I write. I'd love to keep you supplied with fresh ideas for object lessons, crafts, games, and other activities... all from Light from the Loft to your mailbox for FREE!

Parents, grandparents, teachers, children's ministry directors...Join me in my mission to bring children to the feet of Jesus.
