Welcome to 48th Lane
Resources to Help Tell the Next Generation About Jesus.
48thLane.com is a place to discover resources written or adapted by Pastor Jeff and Anette Shanks for use in worship, chapels, children’s ministry or more. This will include short dramas for children’s or youth drama teams, puppet skits, children’s messages, chapel ideas, sermon series and videos.
While a few may be offered for purchase, the goal is to make most of them available at no charge. Our goal as found in Psalm 48 is to help people who want to “tell the next generation.”

Grandma’s Music Box
Grandma’s Music Box is a Christmas story for children and those who love them. Each year Grandma tells the story to her grandchildren of how she met the Grandpa they never knew. It is a story about love, loss and how the Christ of Christmas makes all the difference.
Like an old music box handed down, this story shows the importance of leaving a legacy of faith for the next generation. It may even spark memories of your own family that you’ll want to share.
Say Thank You.
As a thank you, you can choose to make a donation to 48th Lane. This will help us to keep the website operational and be able to continue making online resources available.
Walk about Zion, go around her,
count her towers, consider well her ramparts, view her citadels,
that you may tell of them to the next generation. For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.
— Psalm 48: 12-14
