BLAST Update

During the winter semester, BLAST lessons have focussed on Jesus' miracles. The kids have made stained glass art depicting Jesus raising Jairus' daughter and healing a paralyzed man.

BLAST Feb. 13

This week's lesson was all about love. We talked about the greatest commandment--to love God and love our neighbor. The combined BLAST and Jr. High classes made Valentines and played "People Bingo". One of the squares on the Bingo cards had to be signed by "Someone who can quote John 3:16". This is one young person's quote of the verse--"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him, shall not 'vanish'... Credit was given and I'm certain I heard a chuckle from Heaven.
