4th & 5th Grade - May 4, 2014

Dear Families,

          We went back to the very beginning in today's lesson.  Back to Genesis 1 and God's creation of the earth, heavens, plants, animals and His image bearers, us.

          We drew out of Genesis 1, what God is like and what it means to be created in His image.  We talked about His goodness, His power, His love, and His purposes for His creation.

          In each lesson, we want to help the student learn to draw God's truth out for themselves.  We seek to model for them how make observations and draw applications from scripture passages.  What's happening?  Where and when is this taking place?  Why is it important and what can we learn?  These are all good questions to ask when reading the Bible.

          It would be wonderful if you would take some time this week to go over Psalm 19.  (It fits nicely with our study of Genesis 1.) Vv 1-6 the glory of God in creation of the natural world, vv 7-9, the glory of God in His word, and vv 10-14 how His words meets our spiritual needs.
            
          Our memory verse for this week is Genesis 1:27, 31  "God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. . . And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good.

Thank you for your faithfulness in bring your children each week.  We love and pray for them.

Teachers,
Nancy and Severn
