God's World This Week
This week, April 13, we continue the Lydia story,
exploring the question, "How do we meet God where we are?"
Preschool students will enjoy their choir time, and
then explore the story through an art project. Kindergarten
through 5th grade will dig deep into the question, and
then begin work on a story box, finding and creating words and
pictures to describe how they find God in their lives.
Last week, K-8th graders experienced the
story in the fellowship hall, with time in jail, an
introduction to house churches in Lydia's house, dying purple
cloth, and a walk-through of the whole story. Preschoolers
experienced the story through smaller props in their own
space.
Next week we explore the question, "How do our
families act together to be with God?"
