May 2nd & 3rd

I pray to you. Answer me because you love me sooo much!

Psalms 69:13

This weekend in Beginnings we learned:

1. We can talk to God just like a friend.
2. We can talk to God and He always hears us.

This weekend we told the story of David the Shepherd found 1 Samuel 17:34-37. David was a shepherd that took care of the sheep, and he talked to God a lot. And while he was talking, God was listening. In class we played games to reinforce the lesson. First, we played Hide and Seek (with a twist), the children chose a shepherd and then they would hide their eyes while th rest of the children (the sheep) would hide. Then the shepherd would look for his lost sheep. The children had a blast playing this game! Secondly, we played Sheep, Sheep, Lion. The children would sit in a circle and play just like the game "Duck, Duck, Goose" except they used the words "Sheep, Sheep, Lion". That was so much fun and the children were really great at running around the circles trying not to get caught.

Our craft this week was David & the Sheep. The children colored a coloring sheet with a picture of David and two of his sheep. The children used cotton balls on the sheep and then used a bent pipe cleaner as David's staff. This week talk to your child about how you talk to God. Talking to God is such an important part of building our relationship with Him, remind your children how important having constant communication with God can be. Talk to your child about recent conversations you have had with God, how has He answered your prayers? Have a blessed week!
