Great to see you!

It was wonderful to see the new year begin at Sunday School yesterday.
Our new curriculum is called Grow, Proclaim, Serve and the frog influences in our classroom illustrate the tagline 'Grow your faith in leaps and bounds'. In the next few weeks the blog and classroom communication will communicate more about the plans for the year and how we are committed to developing a more cohesive children's program here at St James'.
For the first few weeks the children will be studying the story of Moses, not just the baby in the basket but the man who led the Israelites out of Egypt and who relied on God for strength and support.
The Bible verse that will be repeated again and again during this unit is 'But I will remember the Lord's deeds; yes, I will remember your wondrous acts from times long past' Psalm 77:11

Yesterday the class was introduced for the first time to the people of 'Leaper's Pointe' a fictional town 'in the middle of everywhere where everyone understands that God loves them and counts their blessings'. These fun little episodes on DVD support the teaching each week. Each class will begin by reminding the children of the previous weeks class by showing the previous episode again at 10.20am. It is important we start on time to allow all the interesting activities that are planned to be used in each class.

See you next week
Jan
