June 6th & 7th

Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power!
Ephesians 6:10

This weekend in Beginnings we learned:
1. Jehoshaphat asked God to help him fight a big army.
2. God showed Jehoshaphat his super power.


This weekend we told the story of Jehoshaphat and the super power that he needed to fight a big army and win. It takes a lot of courage to fight an army, but with God, anything is possible! In class we played games to reinforce the lesson. First, we played Prayer Circle. In this game the children sat in a circle and then when the ball was rolled to them they would say a prayer that they wanted to see God's super power in. Secondly, we played What is that Sound. We had several instruments in a paper bag, While all the children closed their eyes we took out the instrument and made sounds with it. Then we would put the instrument in the bag and the children would guess what the sound was. Those were very interesting guesses from the children.



Our craft this week was Praying Hands. The children cut out hands from a piece of paper and then colored them. We then stpaled the thumbs together so that the hands match up to create praying hands. This week talk to your child about the importance of prayer. God is powerful and and He can answer even the most impossible prayers. Do you know anyone who has had a seemingly impossible prayer answered? What an amazing story and gift to share with your child. Have a blessed week!
