Children's Worship Update

Preschool
Thank you to Jen Scholten and Scott Liesinger for your instruction today!  They worked with your children on catechism question 5.  Children learned hand motions for praise Him (extend arms forward and up in praise), love Him (cross hands over heart and then point up), Thank Him (fold hands in prayer), and Serve Him (wrist together, palms open).  There lesson today was about 1 King 17:  a prophet named Elijah.  Children ended the lesson with coloring a picture of Elijah and adding it to their journals.  (The journals stay at church, but feel free to take a look at them anytime!)
 
Elementary
Thank you Keith Scholten for your instruction with this group today!  Keith started with a review game (Catechism Toss) covering catechism questions 1 - 32.  Children then worked together to complete a True/False activity sheet.  The activity sheet was a reinforcement of questions 29 - 32.  Question 29 begins this section with:  What is sin?  Sin is any lack of conformity to, or transgression of, the law of God.  After completing the activity sheet there was a question that followed:  What does God promise to His people because Jesus took the punishment  for their sin? FORGIVENESS
 
Catechism Questioner
Thank you Ira Staley for listening to the ELEMENTARY children today as they said the answers to catechism questions.  If your child is in the elementary class, then he/she should have a catechism slip indicating the number learned in class. Thank you for all your help and reinforcement of the catechisms.  Next week the preschool class will have an opportunity to say their catechism answers.
