May 16th & 17th

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 anytime.
2. We can talk to God anytime because He is always listening.

This weekend we told the story of Daniel found Daniel 6:1-10. Daniel talked to God every day, three times a day. Daniel always remembered to stop and talk to God. In class we played games to reinforce the lesson. First, we played Freeze and Pray. The children would walk around the classroom until the time rang. When the timer rang, they would stop and pray. Secondly, we played Follow the Leader x3. The children played follow the leader but we did everything in sets of 3. We jumped 3 times, we hopped 3 times. It was a lot of fun getting the children to think of things we could do 3 times in a row.

Our craft this week was a Prayer Clock. The children cut 3 pictures out of magazines to remind them of different times throughout the day that they could pray. Then each child glued a clock on the consturction paper with the pictures glued around the outside of the clock. This week talk to your child about the times that you talk to God. Do you talk to him in the car? At lunch? how about early in the morning before anyone wakes up? Remind your child that it is so important to let God in and talk to Him like you would a friend. No matter where you are doing, God is listening. Have a blessed week!
