Thanks Kershaws & Renee

Davis came out of Sunday school last night so excited about his story.  We talked about his lesson all the way home from church.  He told me about Jesus having "community" (communion) with his disciples and how we can have "everlasting life".  It was the best conversation we have ever had on the way home from church.  He wanted to come home and find the verses that they had read to him about communion in his own Bible.  He made a sheep in his class.  It is just a little sheep that he made out of paper and cotton balls but he loves it.  He made it a cage out of a shoebox when he got home.  He also asked me to give him one of the cleaned out baby food jars so that he could pretend to give it some water.  I think that he enjoyed the craft so much that it really helped him make a connection to the other parts of the lesson.  Thank you so much to the Kershaws and Renee for taking the time to teach last night and making God's Word come alive for him.

That is just precious! It's so awesome to see how a young heart can understand God's Word!

God is so awesome! We had such a fun time teaching the threes and fours with Renee and Janie. Funny thing is, three of the four sets of teachers prepared for the lesson for next week because we read the schedule wrong so Davis will get the same lesson this week too. Eric was really cool about our mistake and said that God will use it how He wants. Praise God that He used His Word to speak to Davis' heart on a week with so many variables - we combined classes with younger kids, had a large class, met in a different classroom, taught the wrong lesson, and had to mesh our plan with Renee and Janie's plan last minute... Did I mention that God is so awesome?!?
