Have you ever seen weather fluctuations like we've had in the last week? Tuesday snow storm (gosh, it was pretty in the morning!), Wednesday rain w/ slushy snow in it, Thursday is t-shirt weather, and Friday/Saturday it is supposed to be really warm! Goodness. :) I know some people who are missionaries in Haiti (the Livesay family...http://livesayhaiti.
We do not have a station to spotlight this week as this past week was the wrap-up from the previous unit. It was a pure joy to see the kiddos engaging with the Easter story as Brenda Blair had a neat dye experiment for them in Beakers and the Bible, David Woolley helped them create footprints to remind them to that God walks with them and we are to go and tell people of His love, Katie Bystrom showed them an illustration of the tomb with biscuits and Krista Early led them through games which engaged the Easter story. Easter is so important! There are those who say Easter is more important than Christmas as it is the fulfillment of the salvation promise. During this past week, we walked through several activities, including a "Jesus says..."game (Simon says, but with Jesus instead), as well as doing the relay game as a whole Sunday School (curious? ask your child!).
You guys are so incredibly loved, do you know that?
A few things to note this week:
- We are beginning the final unit of this year of Sunday School. During the summer, there will be events and activities for you all - keep your eyes peeled for details! There will be things on certain Sundays for the children to engage with the Gospel...it does not go away just because School is over. :) The last day is May 19 and we will have a special gift for each family at that time!
- VBS: don't forget that VBS is the final week of July! We are busy with preparations. If you are able and willing to help, please let me know. :) Many hands make light work, and this is going to be an awesome VBS!
May God shine his light into your day and richly bless your sleep this night.
Verse to ponder: "To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ." Colossians 1:27-28 NIV
Did you know... They are saying that on average, we are spending 9 years in front of the television in our lifetime. 9 years! Jesus survived without television just fine. What if we turned off the TV and played a game with our children?
