Mrs. Bernhardt's First Grade: February 3, 2017

We have learned the story of Jesus telling the little children to come to Him. This is one of my favorite pictures of that story and it hung in my sister's room when we were growing up. The class is very excited to learn how important they are to Jesus. The class couldn't believe the disciples who told the children to go away. This week we learned about a miraculous catch of fish. We heard Jesus tell His disciples to be "fishers of men". We are also told to be "catch" people for Jesus. This weekend we get to share Jesus in church as we sing. It is awesome to see His CHILDREN sharing their faith of HIS story with others.

WE SING IN CHURCH THIS SATURDAY, February 4 at 5:00.
Please have your child to the upper music room at 4:45. We will come down for the children's message and after the message the children will come and sit with you, their families.
