Jesus and the 12 Brothers aka 12 disciplines
First came John and James his brother
Sturdy sons of Zebedee
Andrew next and Simon Peter
Fisherman of Galilee
Phillip and his friend Nathaniel
Sometimes called Bartholomew.
Matthew who collected taxes
And who wrote a gospel too.
Next came Thomas, he who doubted.
Simon and another James.
Then the Judas who was faithful
Thaddeus was his other name.
Then the Judas who betrayed him.
These the Master's chosen few
But, we all are His disciples
When we try His will to do.
Sturdy sons of Zebedee

When we try His will to do.
At the closing gathering each day the children are asked what the Bible story was about that particular day. With all sincerity one girl responded Jesus and the 12 brothers. Above is the poem that Ed Burwell taught the children to remember the names of the 12 disciples.
