Children's Worship Update

Preschool

 On Sunday your children worked on catechism questions 6-8 (The Trinity).  Their lesson today was on Matthew 14: 22 - 32.  Children participated in an action activity pretending they were boats on the sea to help act out the story.  They were rocking gently and then fiercely with a lot of wind.  Children ended the lesson with placing stickers around a triangle in their journals (The stickers placed on the triangle were: Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and Trinity was placed in the middle.The journals stay at church, but feel free to take a look at them anytime!)                                                                                                 Next week the preschool class will have an opportunity to say their catechism answers!! 

Elementary

The Elementary class had a chance to say their catechism answers on Sunday.  Please check for the catechism slip indicating the number they learned in class.  This way your child can keep track in his/her catechism booklet at home with stickers.  This past Sunday, children worked on learning catechism questions 36 -40.  During the lesson, children heard how without the Holy Spirit's work in our hearts, we could never know or love God.  Children heard a Bible story from Genesis 4:1-16 to help teach the catechisms this week. This is a familiar Bible study to many of the children, but it is helpful when discussing the questions.  Making the connection to the Bible story will help your child better understand what they are saying and avoid rote memorization of the questions and answers.
