Sunday School Week of July 26th, 2020

This week's Sunday School lesson is a little different! Here is a presentation of the Parable of the Mustard Seed, which we heard in church last Sunday.  I hope you will enjoy it, and then maybe draw or paint a picture of the mustard tree to remind you that God can make something wonderful from the tiniest seed.

Sunday School Week of July 19, 2020

Good afternoon, everyone!

This week, we heard the story of Jacob's ladder.  If you watched the family service you heard Sue talk about (and show us!) her angels and how she knows God is always with her.  If you watched the 10:00 service you heard me talk about how Jacob says "surely God was in this place and I never knew it!" I challenged everyone to think about the places where God surprises us, or places where God is with us even when we don't notice. I don't know about you, but as I spend more time praying and going to church at home than ever before, the couch spot where I watch and record church services feels more and more like a holy place!

If you want to make a craft to remember the story you can click here to see a google drive folder with instructions, a ladder craft, and angels to put onto the ladder.

Happy crafting and don't forget to look around and notice this week that God can meet us anywhere, even the most ordinary of places!

Sunday School: Week of July 5th, 2020

Hi everyone,

In this week's family service we read the story where Jesus tells the disciples some interesting things:

"Blessed are you who are poor, for all God’s world is yours.
Blessed are you who are hungry, for God will feed you.
Blessed are you who are sad, for God will comfort you and you will laugh again.    
Blessed are you who feed the poor, for you are the hands of God.
Blessed are you who comfort the sad, for you are the arms of God.
Blessed are you who work for peace, for you are the voice of God.
Blessed are you who are loving and kind, for you are the heart of God."

If you missed it, I hope you will go listen to the story and then we have a fun craft to remember the verse! You can find the craft here and directions here. I hope it will help you remember the beatitudes and that Jesus calls us the salt of the earth, and the light of the world, and to love and pray for everyone, even your enemies.

Have a wonderful week!
Taylor
