Description

A little Catholic Church taken in Tontitown, Arkansas by Nava Thompson in November 2012. Once upon a time, I was teaching a summer Bible School to small children. I made a church for them out of big cardboard boxes. The little two room church was big enough for them to go inside. The church had a Christmas bell.I was advised that children are not used to bells and should design it with skylights. However, when the little ones came in they chimed in, "Oh a bell, like grandma's church." They loved it and spent a week coloring the stained glass windows. (class was not in this church)
