Sunday, May 25th

This was my first Sunday away for quite some time, so I feel a bit disconnected from the lessons and goings-on this week.  But thanks for our awesome lead teachers, especially Reba who ran point for me we can all get a glimpse at what occurred Sunday morning, regardless of whether we were there or not!

In Kindergaren/1st Grade Sarah talked about Daniel & the lions den on Sunday in class. The lesson went over Daniel's obedience to God's command of praying to Him only and God's faithfulness to protect Daniel from harm. We recapped (slightly) the previous weeks' lessons - Elijah, Jonah, & Shadrach, Meshach, & Abednego.

In 2s & 3s Reba and the kids told the story of Moses beginning in when he was found in the reeds.  In retelling much of his life's story, our children were encouraged to ask wondering questions like: 
-I wonder how Moses felt knowing his people were slaves

-I wonder how it felt for Moses to leave his home and go to the desert

-I wonder why God used fire to speak to Moses

In 2nd-4th Grade Matt Watrous taught the lesson "In the Name of Jesus" on Acts 3 of Peter and John speaking Christ's name and healing the lame man at the gate of the temple.  We asked questions like, "what do you think was going through the man's head when Peter told him to get up and walk?"  "how do you think Peter and John reacted when the man walked?  Were they surprised or did they expect it?

Also, all of our classrooms will be practicing Father Abraham over the next few weeks to get ready for a performance on Father's Day.  Hope you're all ready for an adventure, and feel free to practice at home if the kids are up for it!
