This week in Preschool we thought about waiting. Waiting
is hard! Sometimes, we are waiting for presents, waiting for our
birthday, waiting for grandparents to come. In advent, we were waiting
for the Rescuer. We weren't the only ones waiting for the Rescuer... two people named Anna & Simeon were waiting too. Their people, God's people, had been
waiting for the promised Rescuer for many years. Anna and
Simeon both went to the temple (like church) every day hoping to see the
Rescuer. The day that Mary and Joseph took Jesus to the temple, both Anna
and Simeon were overjoyed. They prayed to God thanking him for sending
the Rescuer and letting them live to see that baby, Jesus.
Our music, with Mark (thanks Mark!), was Go Tell It On The Mountain and He
Came Down That We May Have Love. We used shakers and other rhythm instruments
to show how joyful Simeon and Anna were to have seen Jesus.
For craft, we decorated a simplified version of Simeon's
prayer to remind us to thank God for sending the Rescuer: Jesus.
Next week, Lydia will lead Sunday School in the story of
Jesus returning to the temple, now as a grown boy.
