Light of the World

Last month the theme was God’s Light. First we heard the story of Nicodemus, who learned that God sent Jesus into  the world to be a bright light to show people how to love one another. Jesus can be a light that helps people find a way when times are dark.

After that everyone joined groups to participate in activities that encouraged them to think about light. One group made suns out of fruit kebabs, another group made lamps with jars and paper, others one did a wordfinder puzzle and another group learned e new hymn, Christ be Our Light.
