Spring Day

There's nothing like spending a beautiful Spring day outside. We enjoyed the play structure, blowing bubbles on the new deck and climbing on the rocks in the Ebenezer garden.

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.

BLAST Update

The first semester of BLAST is nearly finished. The children have had a lot of fun learning about bible heroes. On Sunday, Dec. 5 we talked about Jonah and the lesson he learned about being obedient to God. The children made these whales as a reminder to obey God and to follow His instructions in all that we do.
