Ja Rurat 09/28

Sundays at Ja Rurat were becoming pretty routine. Every week we sing a song or two, I teach a short Bible story and the kids color on a coloring book page using the same theme as my story. I told Vee last week that if we didn't do something to change things up, the kids were going to get bored and quit coming. He agreed, but I know he has been far too busy to do much about it. So, I went out and got some scissors and construction paper and glue sticks and we tried something a little new today. We sang songs, as always, but then I talked to the children about how prayer is just talking to God and that God longs for us to talk with him on a regular basis. Then we had the kids trace the outline of their hands in a "praying hands" posture, and cut that out and glue it to a second sheet.

It went well. The biggest problem was that it was just Vee and me today. No one else could go with us. We had our hands full, but the kids had fun and several parents watched closely and seemed to really approve.
